List of transgender publications

This list of transgender publications includes books, magazines, and academic journals about transgender people, cultural, and thought.

The lexical compound trans+gender was first used in 1965 by psychiatrist John F. Oliven of Columbia University in the second edition of his reference work Sexual Hygiene and Pathology.[1][2] By the mid-1970s both trans-gender and trans people were in common use as umbrella terms.[3] By 1984, the concept of a "transgender community" had developed.[4] By 1992, the International Conference on Transgender Law and Employment Policy defined transgender as an expansive umbrella term including "transsexuals, transgenderists, cross dressers" and anyone transitioning.[5]

Some publishers of transgender-related books include Trans-Genre Press,[6] Topside Press[7] and Transgress Press.[8]

Where the compulsive urge reaches beyond female vestments, and becomes an urge for gender ("sex") change, transvestism becomes "transsexualism." The term is misleading; actually, "transgenderism" is what is meant, because sexuality is not a major factor in primary transvestism. Psychologically, the transsexual often differs from the simple cross-dresser; he is conscious at all times of a strong desire to be a woman, and the urge can be truly consuming.
