I finally came out to my mom (again)

I should prolly clarify - I came out as bisexual in December, but I already knew my mom knew. Not much of a story there, but she did apparently know since I was like, six (I found out when I was about 14). This is abt my other coming out story.

I've known for a while that I'm prolly somewhere along the trans spectrum, and some time ago I decided genderfluid is the right term for me. Some days I'm fine being a guy, but other days I think periods would be worth being a girl. I've been pretty open abt it with my friends, but I tried to keep it under wraps from my Mom and Dad. My Dad's super religious and definitely wouldn't be happy to hear it. My mom sometimes talks abt how being trans is a mental illness (though it hasn't been officially recognized as such for years). I figured that I should tell my mom at least cause I know she'd still love me. I've been extra anxious lately, and I was trynna figure out the best time to talk to her, but I just decided I couldn't put it off anymore. I pulled her aside tonight and told her that I'm genderfluid and I've been thinking abt HRT. She said she loves me no matter what, but I should prolly figure out my current mental health problems (depression, anxiety, etc.) before considering something as major as HRT, which is honestly fair. She said she doesn't care if I grow my hair out (cause I mentioned I wanted to). She hugged me and said goodnight and said she was glad I told her. I'm so glad my mom doesn't actually care. :3
