What if you told your mom that if it's a phase, the specialist therapist will be able to help you work it out faster? And maybe once your with the specialist, they can help you with your mother. Just a thought. Good luck.
Aww, "Saveme"? That sounds pretty desperate! Welcome to our little online community. It's not actually that little, it's quite big, but you know what I mean! We have a section called Gender Identity and Expression, you might want to post a new thread there. There are plenty of people here who have been through, or are currently going through, exactly the same situation as you are. You're not alone!
.. "I've always wanted to a boy"-- It's obviously not just a phase. Did you tell your mother that you've "always wanted to be a boy"? Because it's not like you "just now wanted to be a boy", you've known the whole time, and have felt that way contiguously? Also I should point out that that's kind of the wrong way to put it (common mistake), 'cause as I see it, when you're trans, it's not that you "want to be" your right gender, it's that you are that gender, but the body (and a few other features) don't fit right with that. I'm going to take a guess here and say it's becaues your'e still young-- and parents are inclined to assume everything is a phase until they can tell otherwise, when their kids are young. My only advice is to keep stressing to your mother that it's not something you feel now but something that you continue to feel even now from earlier on in life. But what do I know? I'm still new. And welcome to the forums/community!
