Hello Harriet, thank you for posting.
I also recommend if there is any way possible, see if you can talk to a gender therapist. I realize that means you need to talk to your mom or dad about this topic, but you might also have some resources available at school.
If your mom is supportive that might be all you need - ask her if she can help you find a therapist. It sounds to me like she cares about you a lot.
One reason to consider doing this now is it's a distraction and I bet that distraction won't go away. Your next two years are important as you might be thinking about college or what type of career you want - so taking care of this now might be easier than two years later when you're also dealing with additional decisions.
We have a
Youth Talk forum which has many people in your age group. Also we have an
Introductions forum which is a great way to say hello to everyone.
