I told my mother that I want to transition to a boy, I don't feel right in this body and she sounds like she doesn't believe me. I feel like she'll cut communication off with me if I transition when I get older. I'm 14 years old and I have felt this way for over 3 years. I have a supportive god sibling who is non-binary and supports me through the way. But I'm scared that they'll turn their back on me when I save up for surgery. I'm scared.
I am glad you reached out to 2ndfloor for support. That was very brave of you to share that with your mom. Sometimes parent have a difficult time accepting news like that.
