Middle-Aged Mutant Nutbar Turtles: Oregon 'Mental Health Expert' Identifies as a Terrapin

Twitchy

It's been a while since we checked in on the batpoop-crazy state of Oregon, so maybe we should take a gander and see how things are going up there in the Pacific Northwest.

Fair warning: Prepare to be 'shellshocked.'

In one of the worst cases of cultural appropriation that the animal or reptile kingdoms have seen since Mitch McConnell entered the Senate, there is now a 'mental health expert' in Eugene who identifies -- and no, we are not joking but we wish we were -- as a turtle. 

That was not a typo. A turtle. 

The tweet from Oli London continues: 

JD Holt who goes by the name JD Terrapin uses turtle pronouns.

'Hello everybody, it’s JD. I use they, them and turtle for my pronouns.'

She is part of a panel of ‘experts’ advising the state on mental health. 

And here is more from the New York Post:

A member of a state panel advising the director of Oregon’s Health Authority (OHA) made a wild first impression at a meeting by proclaiming, '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 is one of roughly two dozen 'consumers' on the OHA’s Consumer Advisory Council (OCAC), which is appointed by OHA Director Dr. Sejal Hathi, who was chosen by Democratic Gov. Tina Kotek.

Gender Wiki, a website that documents non-binary genders, describes 'turtlegender' — also dubbed 'tortoisegender' — as a legitimate 'xenogender' identity in which a person 'feels a gendered connection to turtles.'

Ahh. Well, there you have it. They consulted the definitive resource on the subject, 'Gender Wiki.' 

According to the Post article, members of the OHA can investigate, evaluate, and recommend behavioral health resources. 

Umm ... can they recommend those resources for their own members? Because we know one person on the panel who could use some of that. 

Alright, stop that. We're not going to embrace such awful puns here on Twitchy, no matter how 'snappy' they are. 

Dammit. Matt Walsh makes a good point. 

No, she is not joking. She expects to be taken seriously. And only in a place like Oregon could she ever BE taken seriously. 

For his part, at least Dana Carvey admitted that he was only pretending to be a turtle.

Hmm. We're going to have to go with 'Nah' on that question. 

Yes. We can confirm that Oregon has, in fact, completely lost it. 

Oregon just gets worse and worse every time we turn our heads in their direction. 

Can't we just build a wall around the entire state?

Or maybe we can give it to Canada so that Justin Trudeau will stop crying like a little girl every time he steps in front of a microphone. 

That is a VERY wise decision. Better yet, don't ever go to Oregon. 

HA. 

On the other hand, some members of Oregon's OHA (assuming there is a single sane one in the bunch) have the chance to do the funniest thing ever at the next group luncheon.

Trust us. We said the exact same thing. We're still saying it, to be perfectly honest. 

Oh, you son of a ...

OK, fine. We laughed at that. No, we will never get tired of JD Vance memes. Even really weird ones.

We guarantee that 'JD Terrapin,' as this mental patient calls herself on Facebook, has an entire closet full of TMNT costumes and dolls. She probably named every one of her many, many cats after characters from the cartoon, as well. 

This isn't even debatable anymore. It's axiomatic at this point.

But it's safe to say that, with their latest 'shell-ebrity,' Eugene, Oregon has set a new bar for absolute nutbar insanity that they 'affirm' in the Pacific Northwest. 

We're almost afraid to see what Seattle will do next to top them.
