This list of transgender publications includes books, magazines, and academic journals about transgender people, culture, 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. By the mid-1970s both trans-gender and trans people were in common use as umbrella terms. By 1984, the concept of a "transgender community" had developed. 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.
Some publishers of transgender-related books include Trans-Genre Press, Topside Press and Transgress Press.
