Oregon mental health advisory board includes member who identifies as terrapin species

I'm sure some here that are O.K. with this, but they/them are insane.

A member of a state panel advising the director of Oregon's Health Authority (OHA) on best practices and policies in mental health identifies as a "turtle."

JD Holt, who also goes by "JD Terrapin" on Facebook, is one of roughly two dozen "consumers" on the OHA's Consumer Advisory Council (OCAC). The council, established by administrative statute, is appointed by OHA Director Dr. Sejal Hathi, who was appointed by Gov. Tina Kotek, a Democrat.

The purpose of the OCAC is to advise Hathi on the state's provision of mental health services, including through investigations and reviews of current practices.

This is right up there with Iran being a member of the UN Committee on Human Rights a few years ago.

The “consumers” here are people who use mental health services. They have experience with the health care system that you and I don’t. It’s like a student advisory committee at a school or a panel of patients at a hospital. Do you think Mr. Terrapin doesn’t need mental health care? Or do you think they should pick board members who are only slightly crazy?

No doubt JD needs help. So much so, JD can't really determine how that help should be delivered or managed as JD is not mentally in the real world. Perhaps the committee should be made up of caretakers or concerned family members, or at least people deemed competent and of right mind. Yeah, I know, lots of folks will say JD IS of right mind, but clearly that is not the case. The care JD would ask you and I to pay for would be to help JD continue the fantasy that JD is a turtle.

You cannot be serious with this nonsense.

JD Terrapin



I wonder if they are a snapper.

I suppose you can't make fun of this person. We're supposed to take it seriously?
Nope. This person has a mental problem. Not going to enable these lunatics anymore. I'm not talking about the people with the mental issues, I'm talking about the 'medical professionals' who are pushing this bullshit.

It’s amazing, the economy is tanking. Prices are about to go through the roof. And we’ve got this nonsense that you keep trying to distract us with. Who cares?

Sweetie, once the economy becomes a Trump dump, the Democrats could run a lizard person and they would win.

Why not a JD Terrapin to replace McConnell?
