A student editor at a top university has been fired in a transphobia row after he tweeted that 'women don't have penises'.

Angelos Sofocleous, assistant editor at Durham University's philosophy journal 'Critique', was sacked from his post after just three days for writing a tweet deemed 'transphobic' by fellow students.

Mr Sofocleous, 24, from Cyprus, faced disciplinary action last month after he re-tweeted an article by The Spectator on his Twitter titled 'Is it a crime to say women don't have penises?', with the comment: 'RT if women don't have penises'.

The postgraduate philosophy and psychology student was dismissed from his position at the university after the tweet sparked outrage.

He was also fired from his position as editor of Durham University's online magazine The Bubble, and forced to resign as president of free speech society Humanist Students.

Mr Sofocleous stood by his comment which has sparked a row around trans rights and freedom of speech.

How is that transphobic?

Dont trans people claim they are a ___ in a ___s body?

If youre a woman. You dont have a penis.

If youre not a woman. You have a penis.

If youre a trans woman. You claim you were born in the wrong body (mans), which is why you have a penis.

Wheres the transphobia?

Agreed, we're at a point where the most insane of social rejects are running the world now, and for some reason their opinion is the only one that matters.

Biologically speaking, women don't have penises. I'm fine with "transgender" being a third (and final) legal classification, but someone born a man will never be an actual woman. Life isn't fair, suck it up and make the best of a difficult situation. Have some self-respect and own being different rather than forcing people to accept a fallacy.

Twitter isn't a kindergarten. Also, trans = kindergartners? That is offensive.

Well in the real world you can't run around yelling offensive shit all day and not have consequences as a result.

Freedom of speech does NOT protect you from consequences or protect your job.

There's this cool thing called common sense that most people have that would tell them to not post shit that's bigoted out in public view, especially if you work at a university.

Replace kindergarten class with church and Santa with God then.
