Saniscape

The process of leaving a public restroom after washing your hands without touching any part of the facility or door to avoid picking up germs on your way out.
You enter a public bathroom, do your business, flush and then wash your hands (all proper protocol). The question is how do you get out without touching the door handle (etc.) thus making your Saniscape.

Sanist

'Sanist' means assuming that only the allegedly sane have any rights, and that they can ride roughshod over the rights of anyone without 100% mental health e.g. in law, because they are the power group in the right. Cf racist,where the rights of people are diminshed according to their race, ageist, where the dignity and rights of older people are diminished, and sexist, where the dignity and rights of the weaker sex (usually women) are diminished.

Sanist language is used by the power group against the minority.

Also Sanism
"axe wielding schizophrenics"

That remark is sanist in that you are diminishing a group of disabled people with a harmful and inaccurate stereotype.
