Re: Some of the stupid people you can have in govt.

The Biden administration�s Department of the Interior (DOI) is set to
celebrate �transgender day of visibility� with a screening of a documentary
about LGBT inclusion in marine biology, an internal email obtained by The
Daily Wire reveals.

The department, tasked with the management and conservation of federal land,
announced that it would host a screening of �Diving for Rays: A Queer
Conservationist�s Story� in an employee digest email sent on March 26th that
was obtained exclusively by The Daily Wire

�Transgender Day of Visibility is an internationally recognized event that is
celebrated annually on March 31st to help raise awareness and increase
understanding of the challenges, importance and struggles of our transgender,
non-binary and gender non-conforming communities,� the email reads. �The
Department will mark this important occasion by showing a short documentary
called �Diving for Rays: A Queer Conservationist�s Story.�


The documentary that Interior is screening in celebration of transgenderism
details the experiences of Nicole Morris, a native of San Diego, California
who complains that the field of marine biology is saturated with straight
men.

�After realizing the lack of LGBTQ+ visibility in marine science led her to
abandon her childhood dream, Nicole Morris decided to re-route her life path
to try and become a marine biologist, to conserve endangered rays,� a
description of the film, posted to the National Park Service website reads.

�All I was ever exposed to were documentaries that had the perspectives of
straight men,� Morris bemoans in the documentary. �As I got older it became
harder and harder to imagine myself in those films,� she says before later
adding, �So I had to ask myself �was marine science something that a queer
woman could do?��

The film screening comes as President Joe Biden has directed the entire
federal bureaucracy to push leftist gender ideology and the diversity,
equity, and inclusion (DEI) agenda. Biden most recently reaffirmed his
commitment to far-left dogmas by declaring Easter Sunday as �Transgender Day
of Visibility,� a move that was widely condemned by his critics.

On Transgender Day of Visibility, we celebrate the joy, strength, and
absolute courage of some of the bravest people I know.

Today, we show millions of transgender and nonbinary Americans that
we see them, they belong, and they should be treated with dignity
and respect. pic.twitter.com/mhixHV9KC2

The film details Morris� journey to becoming a marine conservationist, with
her learning how to scuba dive before later being accepted into a graduate
school program.

�I think getting scuba certified helped me to finally see myself for the
first time. That helped me to see myself as both a marine conservationist and
as a queer woman,� she says at one point in the 22-minute long documentary.
�I like to think that even though I might be different from most marine
conservationists, my perspective as a queer woman in science is just as
important.�

�I am fully out and I am fully proud and I am a queer marine
conservationist,� Morris says at the end of the film.

An Interior spokesman told The Daily Wire that the screening is not
mandatory, though he did not answer questions pertaining to the cost of the
screening.

�Following the documentary, there will be a question-and-answer session with
the filmmaker, Nova, West, and a panel of representatives from multiple
LGBTQIA+ Employee Resource Groups from the U.S. Geological Survey, U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service, U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, U.S. Bureau of Land
Management, and the National Park Service,� the email also states.

The email suggests that the screening was organized by Tristian Edgarian, who
leads Interior�s LGBTQ Employee Resource Group along with James Mosley. The
film screening comes as the wider federal bureaucracy has embraced far-left
views on both gender and race, institutionalizing ideology into their
practices and initiatives.

Even the intelligence community has pushed far-left dogmas under the Biden
administration. A recent Daily Wire investigation revealed that the Office of
the Director of National Intelligence sent out a DEI newsletter to the entire
intelligence community, including the FBI, CIA, and DOJ, instructing agents
to avoid using �problematic phrases� when discussing Islamic terrorism. The
same DEI document also featured an article from an anonymous intelligence
official who claimed that crossdressing makes him a �better intelligence
officer.�

DEI trainings have become commonplace throughout the federal bureaucracy,
with the Internal Revenue Service hosting a mandatory training for criminal
investigators that pulled material from a radical transgender academic who
called for the �death of whiteness� in an article titled �Dead Honky.�

Trump has signaled that he will take steps to gut the administrative state if
he is reelected, using tools like Schedule F, an executive order, to strip
civil service employment protections from bureaucrats who have influence over
the policy-making process.

�We will pass critical reforms making every executive branch employee
fireable by the president of the United States,� Trump said at a rally,
touting the plan. �The deep state must be brought to heel.�
