Editor's statement: "…electronic journal will be an important vehicle for the transmission of
scholarly work in the area of transgenderism. We are at an exciting point in history where the
interest in the study of transgenderism is keen and quite a bit of scholarly activity is being
produced. The study of transgenderism is rapidly expanding both in quantity and in breadth. We are
learning more about transgenderism from an interdisciplinary and intercultural perspective, from
vast new knowledge from psychological and biomedical studies of gender identity, and from
anthropological, socio-cultural and historical studies. We feel that this journal will be an important
source of information and exchange of ideas from this perspective throughout the world"
