Clown world: ‘Trans-identified male’ gives women’s empowerment lecture at female prison

July 8, 2023 | | Print Article

La’Nae Grant, a trans-identifying male, gave a lecture at the Edna Mahan Correctional Facility for Women in New Jersey on “women’s empowerment” and the importance of “inclusivity,” where everyone who was “duped” into attending pretty much tuned him out on the subject.

Grant is a biological male who now identifies as a woman. His picture was on the flyer for the event and those who signed up thought that he was actually a “she” evidently. The lecture took place on June 20 and was reported on by Reduxx.

The speaker urged women to accept that “transgender women are women” which did not appear to be received well among the inmates. He told those in attendance that “cisgender women” may not immediately accept trans-identifying men due to “competition” for male sexual partners.

An inmate at the prison named Kokila Hiatt recounted the event to Reduxx. She asserted that many of the women attending had no idea that gender identity would be discussed at the event.

“Many women behaved in a polite manner by sitting and listening. A lot of people just tuned out. No one was anticipating what this event was really about. It was billed as a Women’s Empowerment Event. His picture was on the sign-up sheet, but this person visibly ‘passes’ as a woman, so no one thought anything of it when they signed up to attend,” Hiatt told Reduxx during the interview.

“Attendance was not required in that people signed up to attend, but please remember, no one knew what it was they were really signing up for. They were duped into attending something for this transgender person,” she claimed.

The inmate referred to the lecture as “government-funded and facilitated.” Grant gave his talk in a gym at the prison, which means New Jersey’s Department of Corrections executive staff from Trenton would have had to approve it, according to Hiatt.

“Custody staff members here had to enable inmate movement and supervise attendance. Some members of this facility’s administrative staff was present,” she stated.

Grant is the CEO of Lady L’s LGBTQIA+ Services, according to his LinkedIn profile. Prior to that, he worked for the city of East Orange as the director of the city’s Child and Adult Care Food Program.

Edna Mahan Correctional Facility for Women is New Jersey’s only correctional facility for women. Grant was appointed last year to the women’s prison’s Board of Trustees by Governor Phil Murphy.

Murphy’s office bragged that Grant was “the first transgender woman” to serve on the board and crowed that he is a “longtime activist for the rights of the transgender community, including transgender persons that are currently incarcerated.”

When Grant was 28, almost a decade ago, he “began transitioning into a woman” according to an interview he gave to New Jersey Advance Media in 2021. He took estrogen and has had genital surgery as well as “breast reconstructive surgery.” Before transitioning, he identified as a gay man according to the media outlet.

The prison has already had serious problems with trans-identifying males.

The Daily Wire reported, “In 2021, New Jersey prison officials agreed to start placing trans-identifying males in the women’s prison. However, that policy was tweaked to consider safety and other factors after a male inmate at Edna Mahan Correctional Facility impregnated two women while behind bars. Demetrius ‘Demi’ Minor, who was 27 at the time, impregnated two female inmates, news of which broke last year. He was moved to a youth correctional facility.”

Sources at the prison told Reduxx that Minor wanted to have sex with women as soon as he got to the facility.

A female inmate, Shakira Reed, was also reportedly battered by a trans-identified male inmate named Jermaine Gibson, who now goes by Cyntara, after she refused his sexual advances, according to Reduxx.

In 2020, following the governor signing a bill prohibiting the use of “gay or trans panic” defenses by people accused of homicide, Grant spoke out on the matter according to MetroWeekly.

“We deserve to live with dignity and safety in our communities,” Grant commented. “Knowing that the ‘panic’ defense is banned in New Jersey is another victory and moment of empowerment for black trans women like myself, but there’s still more work to do for our community.”
