TSQ: Transgender Studies Quarterly is a peer-reviewed academic journal devoted to transgender studies emphasizing cultural studies and the humanities. It is the first non-medical journal in this area.
The founding editors-in-chief are Susan Stryker (University of Arizona) and Paisley Currah (Brooklyn College and Graduate Center, CUNY).
Stryker and Currah were alerted to the need for a journal of transgender studies in 2008, when they co-edited a special transgender studies issue of Women's Studies Quarterly. They needed 12 articles but received more than 200 submissions. In May 2013, they started a month-long Kickstarter campaign to help fund the journal. They received more than US$10,000 in donations in the first five days; by the end of the campaign, the journal had nearly US$25,000 in crowdfunded capital.
The first call for submissions drew a considerable amount of interest. As such, the first issue was expanded into a book-length double issue comprising 86 essays. Only two issues were published in 2016, as they were both double issues.
