X-Subject: Biden Admin Screens Movie Pushing For More Queer Marine Biologists As `Trans Day Of Visibility' Celebration

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.

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.”
