La&#8217;Nae Grant, a biological man who identifies as a woman, spoke to female inmates on June 20, emphasizing the importance of inclusivity and women&#8217;s rights, as reported by Reduxx.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Transgender women are women,&#8221; Grant urged the audience, acknowledging that some cisgender women may initially struggle to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trans-identifying-male-gives-talk-on-womens-empowerment-at-new-jersey-prison-report\/\" title=\"Trans-identifying male speaks on 'women's empowerment' at NJ prison: Report.\">accept trans-identifying men due<\/a> to perceived competition for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/school-district-reinstates-notorious-raunchy-books-saying-gender-queer-comic-is-scientifically-based\/\" title=\"School District Reinstates Notorious Raunchy Books, Saying \u2018Gender Queer\u2019 Comic Is \u2018Scientifically Based\u2019\">male partners<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Kokila Hiatt, an inmate at the facility, shared her experience with Reduxx, revealing that many attendees were unaware that the event would focus on gender identity.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Most women politely sat and listened, while others tuned out. No one anticipated the true nature of this event. It was advertised as a Women&#8217;s Empowerment Event, and since Grant visibly &#8216;passes&#8217; as a woman, no one suspected anything when they signed up,&#8221; Hiatt explained.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Hiatt emphasized that attendance was not mandatory, but attendees were deceived about the true purpose of the event, which she described as &#8220;government-funded and facilitated.&#8221; The talk took place in the prison gym, requiring approval from New Jersey&#8217;s Department of Corrections executive staff in Trenton.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Custody staff members and administrative staff from the facility were present to supervise and enable inmate movement,&#8221; Hiatt revealed.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Grant, currently the CEO of Lady L&#8217;s LGBTQIA+ Services, has a background in public service, having previously worked for the city of East Orange. He was appointed to the Board of Trustees at the women&#8217;s prison by Governor Phil Murphy, who praised Grant as a longtime activist for transgender rights.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview with New Jersey Advance Media, Grant shared his personal journey, stating that he began transitioning into a woman around the age of 28. He <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/watch-sports-scientist-on-bbc-yes-trans-athletes-have-advantages-over-women-heres-why\/\" title=\"WATCH: Sports Scientist On BBC: Yes, Trans Athletes Have Advantages Over Women.

Prior to his transition, he identified as a gay man.<\/p>\n<p>In 2021, New Jersey prison officials made the decision to place trans-identifying males in the women&#8217;s prison.
