Oregon's Mental Health Advisory Board Includes Member Identifying as Turtle
JD Holt, who identifies as a 'turtle' and uses the pronouns they/them/turtle, is a member of Oregon's Health Authority's Consumer Advisory Council (OCAC), which advises on mental health policies. This news has sparked controversy, with critics questioning the mental health of council members tasked with guiding state policies. Holt's identity falls under a category termed 'turtlegender,' defined by a connection to turtles, which has been documented on Gender Wiki. Another member, who introduced themselves as 'Luke A Shooting Star,' has also raised eyebrows. The Oregon Health Authority claims that the council members, who share lived experiences with mental health challenges, provide valuable perspectives. As the debate continues, some express concern over the qualifications of those shaping state mental health policy.
