need advice on coming out!!

I really want to come out as nonbinary at school but I'm deathly afraid.

The more irrational part of this fear is that my friends wouldn't accept me, irrational because they're very much not bigotted transphobes and very probably would. Even my school as my whole is pretty progressive and like, theres a bunch of other transgender and gender diverse students and everything is great with them. The more rational part is that my parents would somehow find out. They ARE very unsupportive and I'm just not looking for trouble with them. Theres also the question of how it would work with teachers and stuff. Many had made it clear that they're acceptive of queer students but... ughhhh

I don't know, I feel lik it might be easier to wait for next year but... its just so far away. I hate being misgendered so much and desperately want to be seen as.. myself, I guess. I feel disconnected from a lot of things because I'm not.

Even if I did come out, I don't know how I'd go about it. How do I tell my friends? How do I tell like multiple groups of people at say, clubs and stuff? Should I only come out to friends?

HELP

I understand, it took me A LOT to come out. But remember you do not have to come out untill ypu feel safe enough. But if you feel ready, you should just well tell em! Remember you live this life only once. Even if you feel or if ur parents expressed they are against it. REMEMBER they are your parents, their job is to love amd support you no matter what.
I know it may seem tough but i believe on you,

And as for tips,
-if youre too scared to like say it, write it!
Writing allows for you to say more and express urself!
-you can try and find videos
-you can also just slowly start correcting friends if they misgender.
-it can be scary,and it might also not be. I dont know you so, all i can say is be prepared
