Pity the transgender farmer
In these days of rampant government efficiency, spare a moment for the plight of the transgender farmer of San Francisco.
A video clip of U.S. Dept. of Agriculture Sec. Brooke Rollins at a recent cabinet meeting shows her making the following statement,
Even at the U.S. Department of Agriculture we’ve cancelled a $300,000 contract educating on food justice for queer and transgender farmers in San Francisco and a similar contract we cancelled in New York, again, educating queer and transgender farmers on food justice and food equality.
I’m not even sure what that means.
The Secretary also says her department — remember, it’s the Department of Agriculture — cancelled a $600,000 contract for studying the menstrual cycles in transgender men, as well as a $300,000 study on how to improve diversity, equity, and inclusion in the pest management industry.
