Lannie Rose is a trans woman with a technical writing career in San Jose, California. She wrote the book on sex changes—really! It's called "How To Change Your Sex: A Lighthearted Look at the Hardest Thing You'll Ever Do" Her latest book is a memoir of her transition five years ago; it's titled Lannie! My Journey from Man to Woman. Lannie also has several podcasts you can get at iTunes. One is an audiobook reading of How To Change Your Sex. She is currently doing a podcast called Lannie's Website, which is readings from her Web site www.lannierose.com, which, as she says, "has way more stuff on it than any rational person would want to read online." Lannie is also a speaker with The Triangle Speakers of Santa Cruz, and she has hosted workshops at the Cal Dreamin' conference in her hometown, San Jose, and at the recent Gold Rush in Colorado. Proudly but somewhat reluctantly, she cops to being a "professional transsexual" at this point in her life.

Lannie Rose is now a contributing podcaster on TransFM.org
