Noun

whorephobia (uncountable)

  1. Hatred towards sex workers.
    • 2007, Kevin G. Barnhurst, Media Q, Media/Queered: Visibility and Its Discontents (page 178)
      However, to stop there, ignoring the manner in which whorephobia articulates with patriarchy, heterosexism, and homophobia, is to elide and, in turn, to misunderstand the subtle similarities and differences in the experiences of sex workers.
