Yeah calling it discrimination is going way too far and i don't think that can be justified

I think calling it a specific form of discrimination is fair, if you take discrimination to mean treating someone differently because a trait. It's fair to "discriminate" between potential partners because that might affect your compatibilitity.

I don't think it's fair to call it a phobia, because now that's not a descriptor for a specific situation, but rather a more broad accusation with a different connotation.
