| Flagged Word |

As explained in the Front Matter documentation we can use different flags which inform readers at a glance how this word is used. Here are some examples.
Avoid
This is a the baseline if a word is everyday use and you want to to explain deeply why this is wrong, but also point to alternatives folks might use. Note: Alt words are not required for words that should be avoided.
This example is copied out of the definition of crazy.

## Issues
Crazy is very commonly used as an adjective to embody a vast array of ideas, often not specifically. It is used so frequently that it sometimes is a filler. Crazy can also be used in a derogatory manner for someone with mental or psychiatric disabilities.
## Impact
By using ableist language, we are perpetuating violence against people who experience mental or psychological disabilities. Using this language perpetuates those systems and language of harm, regardless of our intent.
## Usage Tip
Be more specific. Typically we can find an alternate definition by simply reflecting on what emotion we're really feeling.
Tool
Some words describe a physical or rethorical tool. These typically have no alternatives, but are a good place to link to external resources.
This example is the definition of performative allyship.

slug: performative-allyship

---
when an individual or group of power/majority/privilege (e.g., white, male, abled, unqueer, etc) loudly profess(es) their actions in the name of 'allyship,' while actively conducting harm to, taking focus away from, and generally being unhelpful towards the group they claim to support, often to receive praise and attention, without taking critical action to dismantle the systems of harm.
## Impact
Performative allyship detracts from the stories of the oppressed and the impact that oppression has on them in favour of the stories of the oppressors and their intent to help. The cost of performative allyship can also be that the stories of the oppressed people are appropriated, watered down, and inaccurately retold by people who should not be telling those stories.
