I definitely don't like it, but I wouldn't use the word "despise". I say that because like many types of prejudice, it's born from ignorance most of the time. Ignorance is a negative thing, for sure, but too often it's learned and not truly based on hatred. That is pitiable or at least a shame. Luckily, with proper education and exposure stigma can be eased to varying degrees.

Can (or have) you fall asleep sitting up?
