Every day, the LGBT community makes progress towards becoming a welcome part of society. This is due in large part to the number of influential individuals who have recently identified themselves as members of the group known as the gay community. One person who has certainly done a lot and was one of the most influential people in the community is Lynette Nusbacher, an American historian, military expert, and author who underwent sexual re-integration surgery in 2007.
Lynette Nusbacher’s Facts
Nusbacher’s scientific work brought her into the limelight since the early 1990s, but her decision to change from a man to a woman took it one step higher and further advanced the attention of the LGBT community she was to belong to. Before undergoing surgery, the military expert, who is highly qualified in strategy research and war studies, was known for her appearances on the History Channel as Dr. Aryeh Nusbacher. She also appeared as a military expert in the early episodes of the TV game show Time Commanders, which premiered in 2003.
Lynette Nusbacher’s Background and Life Before Transformation
Lynette Nusbacher, as we know her today, was born Aryeh Judah Schoen Nusbacher on December 17, 1966, in New York, USA. She was raised by Jewish parents, Waynes and Kelly Maines, alongside her twin brother Jonas Maines. Unlike his brother, who has become a sister, Jonas keeps away from the media, and not much is known about him in public.

Lynette Nusbacher had her first teaching assignment at the University of Reading in Berkshire before joining the prestigious Royal Military Academy in 1999 to lecture on war studies. She remained a Senior Lecturer at the Academy until 2013.
Nusbacher’s fame increased even further in 2011 when she founded “Nusbacher Associates” – a blog designed to educate readers about the future of cyber technology. Her love and curiosity for historical facts drove her further to found “Devil Advocacy” – a group dedicated to examining skeptical views by digging for information on the subject in the past.
As an author, Lynette Nusbacher has written books such as The Battle of Bannockburn 1314 and War and Conflict. In addition to books, she has published online articles about the Times of Israel.

Before she changed, Nusbacher was married to a woman named Melanie Bright. They were married on June 7, 1998, and their decision to transform seems to have had little to no impact on their marriage, as the couple has remained together ever since. Melanie has been very supportive of her partner since her sex change and even went so far as to ward off the prying eyes of the media when they ask her about the reasons for her decision or about Nusbacher’s state of mind. According to reports, the couple and their two children still live together in Surrey, England.
On the career front, not much has changed for Lynette Nusbacher since her sex change in 2007. The sex change took place when she taught at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, where she is said to have taught two members of the British Royal Family: Prince Williams and Prince Harry.
Peter Pearson, who was Major General of the Academy at the time, had given orders to treat Nusbacher with respect and not to tolerate any mockery of her person. He had also ordered that from then on she should be called “Ma’am”. She would teach at the academy for another 7 years before she would leave the academy in 2013.
