Anti-survivor sanism is a framework coined by Candice Alaska to describe how so much of abuse is justified through the victim's mental, emotional, neurological, cognitive, and psychiatric (real or perceived) state or diagnosis.

It’s true that not everyone who bears a BPD diagnosis is an abuse survivor, but many are, and understanding that there is a much larger movement at play in society to oppress resistance to abuse can help us to see the harms that people bearing this diagnosis face as a matter of survivor injustice.
