Importantly, this bibliography is an ongoing project-one that is by no means claim is comprehensive and one that is perpetually incomplete.
My aim in providing this bibliography is to aid scholars in finding relevant literature on transgender topics in communication and media studies before completing their work and submitting it for peer review, as well as to aid students in introducing themselves to this field of study. Invariably, I am able to point the authors of these manuscripts to numerous instances of scholarly work that have already addressed their specific object of study for them to consider in the interpretation of their results and formation of their theoretical arguments. Thus, it is with great frustration that I often find myself reviewing manuscripts for top journals in the fields of communication and media studies that begin with some variant of “there isn’t much literature to review,” before launching into the study at hand. Yet, despite being a relatively new domain of scholarly attention, the literature on transgender media and communication is abundant, and increasing daily. Topics of particular significance to transgender individuals and communities, as well as topics related to non-normative gender identities more generally, have only relatively recently emerged in communication, media studies, and other allied fields.
