Footballer Robert Huth is under fire for taking part in a Twitter game in which he attempted to ā€˜guessā€™ from pictures whether women are transgender.

The Stoke City defender could face action after he took part in ā€˜cock or no cockā€™, a ā€˜gameā€™ in which a Twitter account posts cropped explicit images of women and invites users to guess whether the women have penises or vaginas.

The account then posts the uncensored explicit images, claiming: ā€œThis sorts the men from the ladyboysā€.

The 30-year-old German footballer, who previously played for Chelsea, played several rounds of the game, responding ā€œcockā€, ā€œno cockā€, ā€œnein cockā€ and ā€œits a schlongā€

He has faced a backlash from trans activists online after taking part in the game.

One user wrote: It is clear that @stokecity cannot allow @robert_huth to continue his transphobic adventures on #CONC. Club being put into disrepute.ā€

Another added: ā€œPeople might want to consider asking @stokecity football club why their player @robert-huth thinks itā€™s okay to bully trans people online.ā€

Stoke City declined to comment when asked if action would be taken against the player, but Mr Huthā€™s tweets have since been deleted.

The game is similar to a controversial segment of reality show RuPaulā€™s Drag Race ā€“ in which participants had to guess whether they were looking at a ā€œbiologicalā€ or ā€œpsychologicalā€ woman.

LogoTV pulled the segment off the air and apologised earlier this year.
