Oregon Mental Health Advisory Board Member Identifies as a Turtle; Uses ‘They, Them Turtle’ Pronouns

An Oregon mental health advisory board includes a member who identifies as turtle.

JD Holt, who goes by the name JD Terrapin on Facebook, advises Oregon’s Health Authority Council (OHA) on best practices and policies in mental health.

Holt allegedly identifies as a terrapin and uses “they, them and turtle” for her pronouns.

Despite this glaring defect, Holt is one of roughly two dozen consumer experts on the OHA panel, where she helps advise the state on mental health services.

Members of the council are appointed by OHA Director Dr. Sejal Hathi, who was appointed by Gov. Tina Kotek (D.).

“Hello everybody, it’s JD. I use they, them and turtle for my pronouns. I’m in the Springfield-Eugene area and I get to be part of the council,” Holt said during a Dec. 20 virtual OCAC meeting.

During a Dec. 17 meeting, another OHA member introduced themselves as “Luke A Shooting Star.”
