I’m just wondering but at 15 you could probably ask your doctor or therapist or any other care provider to make your mother leave the room. My pediatrician started MAKING my mom leave the room at about 13 just in case j needed to say something I wasn’t comfortable saying something in front of her. You deserve to treatment and if the only way for that to effectively happen is for your mom to leave the room then I would maybe bring it up. I don’t know if that would make her angry and your safety is really important, but you also deserve to speak to the doctor candidly if that’s what you feel you need to do. I hope you’re safe and doing well. I’m sorry I don’t have any advice. We are all supportive here and we are supporting you!

You’re not alone in this. If you’re able to, there are some online support groups for teens who are transgender. I know it’s especially difficult during this time, but finding people who support you will help so much. As someone who both has OCD and is studying to become a psychologist, don’t be afraid to ask to talk to a therapist alone. You are entitled to that and your therapist legally cannot discuss anything you talk about. This is a journey. But you can do it. ❤️ Support groups: https://www.verywellmind.com/best-online-transgender-support-groups-4800840 https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/groups/transgender https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/groups/transgender https://genderspectrum.org/articles/gender-spectrum-groups
