Pronunciation: /ˌeɪsˈfəʊbiə/

noun

Etymology: From ace (“asexual”) + -phobia.

  1. Fear, dislike, or hatred of asexual people and/or human asexuality.

    It’s important to talk about asexuality because it’s often an overlooked sexual identity, and acephobia – discrimination against asexual people – is experienced by many asexual people.

    Overall, bias against asexuals remained strong even after allotting for social prejudice against single people, confirming that acephobia is distinct from singlism.
