Here's @grimalkina bringing some serious truth.

I will point out this bit from the start of the thread: "Picture being the first person to step out onto a dance floor at a party. Scary, right? It feels a lot easier to be the second, even better to be the third or fourth"

This is where folks with comfort/privilege should exercise that comfort/privilege. There's no meaningful downside to being the first, so do that thing. You're safe, so leverage that safety for good.
