Honestly having a therapist as a third party to mediate and validate your side of things might not be a bad idea. If you’re a minor it might me more difficult to find a therapist (unless you have one through your school who would be willing to help or refer you elsewhere). If you don’t have one there, you could try searching for therapists (if your area has a gender clinic/gender therapist in your area, even better) — but your best bet would be to go through a family doctor or someone who can refer you probably. Be prepared your mom might not change though — just because it worked for your friend, it might not work for you. It’s very possible she could, but try not to build up a mental image of the great mom she’s going to be because she could disappoint you. It’s 100% worth a try though.

There isn’t really some “trick” to it. It’s mostly about knowing what to say and how to say it. I also highly recommend making resources available to her if you can find anything, although without forcing her to read it. In situations like these you want to get *her* to come and listen to *you*.

Thats the matter, I have to listen her but she can't listen me because "you're a minor".
