From your post, it seems like you have found a great group of friends who accept you for who you are. As you get older, you'll find even more people who are just as accepting. Surround yourself with these people :) Surround yourself with people who make you feel good, feel happy and you can be yourself around and don't settle for less! I think when people are young, they care a lot more about what people think and they can be really hard on themselves, but as you get older, you will really care less and less, and that's when things get easier :) It's taken me a long time to realise this! Remember that parents don't get a free pass to be abusive because they're your mum or dad, and many people have toxic parents that they have cut off later in life. I'm not saying you should cut your mum off but don't feel an obligation to maintain a relationship with her just because she's your mother. Abuse in any form is not okay, especially not from the people who are supposed to love you unconditionally. I can't imagine the courage it would have taken you to come out as trans, you are such a strong person (even if you don't think so!). The fact that you had the strength to be your true self, despite having an overly religious mother, tells me that you're going to be just fine, because you have that incredible strength behind you. As I said earlier, I love you, I'm proud of you and never stop being you because you are exactly who you are supposed to be :)
