Exorsexism (also called enbyphobia) is the irrational fear or prejudice of those who do not conform with the strict binary system of either male or female, and rather are a gender outside of the gender binary.
Those who display exorsexism can identify as cisgender or transgender, however, the majority are primarily cisgender. Non-binary and genderqueer people alike can be challenged on the physical and biological experiences of gender neutrality. Although those who accurately are a exorsexist may be supportive of the LGBT community, they are exorsexist, regardless if they support or understand any number of non-binary genders.
Enbyphobia is similar to transphobia and considered a form or variant of it.
