A Navy chaplain who turned to Internet evangelism after being court martialed said this week that a transgender girl should "man up" or face a spanking and an exorcism to rid her body of demons.
On the Wednesday broadcast of his Pray in Jesus Name show, Dr. “Chaps” Gordon Klingenschmitt expressed his outraged at a recent Maine Supreme Court ruling that said a transgender girl should be able to use the school bathroom that corresponded to her gender.
"Little girls should not be exposed to little boy parts!" Klingenschmitt explained. "Talk about mental health problems. The mental health problem is in the child who's confused."
The Pray in Jesus Name host argued that since the transgender girl had an identical twin brother, that she couldn't possibly identify with another gender.
"So for one of them to suddenly start dressing like a girl, it's not just a choice, but it's a demonic spirit," he opined. "It's easy to say that one of those two boys is possessed by a demon."
"And really what the parents ought to do is take that boy to an exorcist, take that boy to a minister. Or at least, discipline the boy. Maybe give him a spanking."
Klingenschmitt said that the parents should also dress the girl like a boy, and tell her, "Too bad, son, you're a boy, you gotta man up."
In closing, he prayed that the "demonic spirit" to be defeated so that the Maine Supreme Court justices and all of society could see that the transgender girl was an "abomination."
