Turtle? She looks more like a rhineceros.

A member of Oregon's Health Authority (OHA) on best practices and policies in mental health said they identify as a 'turtle' during a state panel meeting.
JD Holt, who also goes by 'JD Terrapin' on Facebook, announced that they use 'they, them and turtle' for their preferred pronouns during a December 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,' Holt said during a virtual advisory council meeting.
Holt is one of roughly two dozen 'consumers' on the OHA's Consumer Advisory Council.
The council, established by administrative statute, is appointed by OHA Director Sejal Hathi, who was appointed by the state's Democratic Governor, Tina Kotek.
According to a website that documents the ongoing list of non-binary genders, Gender Wiki, 'turtlegender,' sometimes called 'tortoisegender,' is 'a xenogender identity in which one feels a gendered connection to turtles.'
'One may feel their gender is replaced by a "turtle," or their gender is best described with the use of turtles,' the site reads.
Holt has also been found to have promoted 'anarchist' causes and encouraged people to obstruct immigration enforcement actions, according to a review of their public Facebook posts by Fox News Digital.
'WHAT TO DO AT AN ICE CHECKPOINT, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE WHITE and/or FEEL THE NEED TO JAM UP THE WORKS," Holt wrote in a post on January 29.
Their post encouraged people to yell and scream at federal immigration authorities and make their jobs as 'difficult and uncomfortable' as possible.
Peculiar behavior is not uncommon at the OHA as at an earlier meeting another member was also heard using unexpected pronouns, introducing themselves as 'Luke A Shooting Star.'

I won't say it, I'll let you all look at "their" pic and let you all say it.
They have completely twisted the meaning of mental health to embrace utter insanity.
Impressive work, Satan
For this pervert, I use “nutjob,” “whackjob,” and “flake.”
Turtle? She looks more like a rhineceros.
The ONLY rational, sane, response to “transgender pronounism” is “I don’t DO “folie a deux” followed by “ma’am,” or “sir” as you see fit.
This should be done in a quiet, non-threatening tone of voice followed by shaking one’s head and/or muttering “tsk, tsk, tsk” under one’s breath while backing away slowly being sure NOT to turn one’s back to the very seriously mentally ill babbling psycho until clearing the room.
Need a Straight jacket here.
Tortoise would be more accurate... If you have to announce your pronoun your mental case and definitely don’t belong on any health advisory board you belong institutionalized.
I believe many of these nutcases indulging in this gender idiocy are desperately seeking attention. Lonely losers. Pay attention to me!
My pronouns are HE, HIM AND el Magnifico.
It’s pronoun should be “fat ass”.
While getting my engineering degree in the late seventies, I had to participate in the money extraction scam where a student getting a rational degree had to take courses on what we called “the other side of campus.” Mind you I was just exposed to psychology students and professors in same social circumstances as my regular classes. But there were several times when I drew back in startlement at how crazy they sounded or acted. This at a time when college students had recently transitioned from what we’d call business attire to more hippy tie-dyed jeans. In engineering there were still a lot of well-dressed holdovers. Not so on the other side of campus. But it was their actions, from hyper aggressive and anger for no visible cause to just making “I’m from the moon” type of statements. There’s no way I would have associated with any of those people socially and they were far and above the “activists” infesting campus today.
It’s Pat! (from SNL)
What the heck. If we’re going to violate the rules of God then what difference does it make if we violate the rules of grammar also?
Anyone who thinks “turtle” is a pronoun needs to go back to third grade.
Actually…
The more stuff like this gains traction the better. And the more ridiculous the pronoun the better.
At some point even the leftists will have to admit it makes no sense.
“ the chair recognizes the turtle, Martian, cup holder and bald tire…”
my personal and long time pronoun is simply “DON’T CARE”, with a secondary “can’t make me”. works great with normal people and is entertaining as 7734 when I’m confronted by those afflicted with Epiplectic Appoplexy. I do, of course, step back a little as they have a tendency to spit while screaming out their unintelligible drivel. but oh so comical!
“It’s Pat” was my reaction as well.
And my pronouns are Your Majesty. Don’t ever forget it, lest you wind up in The Tower.
Can these linguists supreme even DEFINE what the term “pronoun” even means?
None of these “substitutes” may be translated into Latin or any other language, living or dead.
my personal pronoun is “I DON’T CARE”....... and “can’t make me”.
I like it
Those aren’t pronouns, either.
My direct address is “Mrs. W.” and my term of reference is “this great lady.”
Terrapin makes some great range finders with built in ballistic calculators. Very useful.
Sadly this Terrapin would only be good at hanging out downrange.
Bad choice for the advisory council: she’ll be late for every meeting.
