Is there any way you can talk to your mom about seeing a psychiatrist who specializes in GID? Or seeing a therapist in general? There are hormone blockers that will prevent you from going through the bulk of male puberty. It is also reversible at any time and if you decided to stay a male you could simply stop taking them.
Do you live in an area that is not tolerant of lgbtq members?

Well, honestly, no. My mother, although helpful and supportive, refuses to accept that this is really me. She does not want me to go visit any psychologists because this is apparently her decision to make since I am her child. As for hormone blockers, that is WAAAYY out of the question. She'd probably just talk about how 'big of a decision I'm making at such a young age'. Even though there is some truth to that, I've had LOTS of time to think about it, and still have the years ahead of me to decide if I want to do it. She doesn't see that, however. I haven't asked her, but knowing my mom, she will more than likely disapprove. And as for the 'nontolerance' of LGBTQ members, the honest answer is yes. My entire school is VERY judgmental(Valley View Jr. High). Supposedly the 'best school', and that's just a lie. By 'best' they mean the one filled with the most stuck-up rich christian kids that like to rub everything in your face. A lot of people in my town wouldn't necessarily enjoy a new 'T' around. And the criticism I'd get from even stepping outside would be almost impossible for me to handle.
I mean, I can take a lot, but that's where I'm hit deep. It doesn't help my already Earth's-core low, so I try to avoid anything that will make others want to make fun of me. It's not that society sways me, its that my own mind does. It tells me that it's wrong for me to do because I'll just get hurt and bullied and criticized, which I don't want.
