Misomidyady
noun

Hatred, contempt, or prejudice against non-binary people or non-binary gender identities; discrimination rooted in the rejection of gender identities that fall outside the male/female binary.
From Greek misos (μῖσος) meaning "hatred" + modern Greek mi (μη), meaning "not" or "non-", + dyadikó (δυαδικό), meaning "binary" — modeled after misogyny (hatred of women) and misandry (hatred of men).
Constructed as:
miso- ("hatred") + mi-dyady ("non-binary")
misomidyady: “hatred of the non-binary”
