The edition's release is set to coincide with an upcoming Katie Couric-helmed documentary on the subject that's set to debut on the National Geographic channel in February.
"Beliefs about gender are shifting rapidly and radically," Susan Goldberg, National Geographic's editor-in-chief, wrote in a post explaining the rationale behind the special issue. "That’s why we’re exploring the subject this month, looking at it through the lens of science, social systems, and civilizations throughout history."
While Goldberg said the magazine has gotten plenty of positive feedback for the groundbreaking covers, the decision hasn't been without controversy.
"Since we shared photos of the cover of our special issue on gender on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter, tens of thousands of people have weighed in with opinions, from expressions of pride and gratitude to utter fury," she wrote. "More than a few have vowed to cancel their subscriptions."
The January edition of National Geographicwill hit newsstands and mail boxes on Dec. 27.
