Hey,
I haven't transitioned, but I am nonbinary.
For me, it was about experimenting with labels that fit. "Boy" wasn't right, but "Girl" didn't seem to fit very well either. Remember that you don't have to put a label on things at all if you don't want to, though. It's okay if you don't fit into one specific box, whether it's transgender or a certain nonbinary label. This is our queer dictionary, where you may find a label that stands out to you. Or, you may not, and that's okay too!
Your mom is transphobic so this may be difficult, but if you can try and experiment with different ways of dress and getting certain items that help you feel more comfortable being who you are. It can even be something simple like a men's deodorant to start out with. See how that makes you feel.
Do you have any friends who you can talk to about this? They may be able to help you by supporting you and doing things like using the pronouns you are most comfortable with.
Do you ever get a little bit tired of life
Like you're not really happy but you don't wanna die
Like you're hanging by a thread but you gotta survive
'Cause you gotta survive
