This is a very delicate subject, in terms of it being something life-changing. I suppose that you already are 100% sure about this.

In that case, then follow the path that will bring you happiness. In my personal opinion, God won't hold it against you that you're unhappy with who you are, and that you want to make a substantial change that will make you happier. I'm not a very reliable source on stuff related to divine matters, though.

And about your family...well, I can't really say much about that part. Doing it and hiding it from your mother would be the worst way, that is for sure.

I feel at loss of words, as this is a very uncommon situation, so I'm not sure how to advice to proceed, etc. So sorry for that.
