About the Guest: Lee Schubert

Lee Schubert is the author of Woman Incognito: Transsexual without
Transition, and a transsexual woman with a lifelong interest in
both religion and politics. Active in both areas, she is on a
mission to transcend boundaries of gender, race, religion, class,
and sexual orientation. As a woman in a male body, Schubert has
discovered that gender is not determined by physical sex, and has

media.

education in finance, religion, radio communications, and
philanthropic studies. Her background includes involvement in
numerous religious and political organizations. She has gained a
deep appreciation of the diversity of human experience and
