In this episode of “I Can’t Even”…
Where to begin? So a member of a state panel advising the director of Oregon’s Health Authority (OHA) made a wild Testudinidae impression at a meeting by proclaiming, “I use they, them and turtle for my pronouns.”
Really. With a straight face, no less.
JD Holt, who also goes by “JD Terrapin” on Facebook, made the ridiculous declaration while introducing” themself” at a virtual council meeting.
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.
Yeah, this is real:
Meet JD Terrapin Holt, an actual member of the Oregon Consumer Advisory Council. JD uses “Turtle/They/Them” pronouns and helps develop policies surrounding mental health and addiction.
