Description
According to the documentation one should not use numpy to initialize bijectors permutation, but the alternative solution based on
"tf.get_variable" is no longer posible on TF2. What should I do ?
"Permute(np.random.permutation(event_size)).astype('int32')) is not a reliable parameterization (nor would it be even if using tf.constant). A safe alternative is to use tf.get_variable to achieve "init once" behavior"

Research direction
Start with the cited Permute documentation and the TF2 incompatibility described in the issue. Determine the supported TF2 way to obtain init-once permutation behavior and document or verify a reliable parameterization; the issue does not name files or tests for validation.
