"A peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary journal focusing on scientific and clinical studies to advance understanding of the health issues faced by transgender people will be launched this fall.
Transgender Health, published by Mary Ann Liebert, Inc, will be an open access journal and will cover topics such as disparities in treatment and barriers to care, sexually transmitted infections and preventive measures, and best practices, protocols, and guidelines to ensure optimal care.
Robert Garofalo, MD, MPH, professor in pediatrics-adolescent medicine and preventive medicine, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, in Chicago, is the new journal's editor in chief."
It's good there is enough academic interest to warrant launching another journal. I know of at least one other, though:
International Journal of ->-bleeped-<-

Many of the articles have free access.
Aims & scope
The International Journal of ->-bleeped-<- is committed to the advancement of knowledge in the areas of transgender identity and sexuality; the health of transsexual, transgender, and gender nonconforming people, their families and communities; the medical and psychological treatment of gender dysphoria; social acceptance and legal recognition of changes in gender role; transgender rights; and the professional and public education on gender diversity and the phenomenon of ->-bleeped-<-. The Journal publishes peer-reviewed original research (qualitative as well as quantitative), theoretical analysis, clinical reports, commentaries, policy statements, and reviews from various disciplines, including but not limited to public health, medicine, psychology, social work, anthropology, sociology, law, gender, and sexuality studies. The International Journal of ->-bleeped-<- , together with its partner organization the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), provides an intellectual forum that stimulates new ways of thinking and understanding various aspects of sex, gender identity, and gender expression for academics, practitioners, policy makers, and the general population.
