For me all the “female” stuff is just FINTA stuff instead. Easy fix and conservatives don’t really know what FINTA means so they don’t care and I can celebrate alternative gender identities in peace.
Yea thats tough. I found myself in the same situation 1-2 years ago. I just moved to a different city when I finished highschool. This might not be feasible for your you unfortunately. Even my closest friends in my hometown whom I’ve known for almost 10 years now don’t know. But I found support in local queer community in my new city. It might feel weird at first but it really helps. If you can find a group then reach out.
If it helps at all, where I’m at, it’s known as ‘day of the feminist fight’. And it’s about commemorating the wins that feminism has already had but also marching and being angry at all the gender based discrimination that still exists. I as an nb personally love it. I know you won’t be able to change how the day is viewed around you and how you’re supposed to act on it, but maybe mentally you can see it as a feminist fighting day? Idk if that helps
I mean like this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Women's_Day
It boils down to “one part of the binary celebrates another part of the binary”. You probably can see how it’s a problem for a closeted trans person.

It doesn’t matter how I see the holiday when in the end I will feel rejected because barely anyone knows and accepts my identity IRL.
As far as I’m concerned, every day is a feminism day.

i do see the historic need for it though, in a patriarchal society, where non cis men are disempowered and objectified.
i hope with feminism de we will more and more move away from gender being socially relevant
