    I am sorry that she is acting this way toward you , have you tried to talk to her and tell her how you feel or even discussed homosexuality with her is she ok with it against it or what ? I know that you said you want to be a young man and that is great .You may may have to wait till you are old enough to move out if your mother is being difficult . I am not sure what to tell you I am sorry I wish you the best of luck tho

    Being so young, it may be best to wait :frowning2: But if you're unsure of how your mom will react, it may be best to go the psychological route. Explain that you may have gender dysphoria, and that you'd like to go to counseling. Or maybe even before that, talking to a counselor or trusted teacher at school, then deciding when to talk to your mom.

    But until you have a license/ car wherein you can go to counseling, GLBT support groups, etc, it's probably going to be pretty hard.

    I know it's not very helpful, but at such a young age it's pretty hard to do much, except slowly ease your mom into it. Maybe somehow work a trans person or character from TV into the conversation?
