It doesn't get better. Uni will be terrible and then you'll be all alone at your job, going to a restroom on a different floor to avoid a genderspecial sex pest. The choke point isn't anything political, it's your opportunities to make friends, which will only degrade with time.

Find a creative hobby and practise it. (No shame in asking your parents to fund it -- you're a child.) Find online and IRL friends this way. It doesn't matter what you pick as long as it's creative (activism doesn't count, pop culture fandoms don't count). If it's popular, you'll have a larger pool of potential friends. If it's rare, you'll be one of the few experts and a community magnet. Make yourself into a person people will want to be friends with.

I write poetry :) It's not great but that's how I stay creative! I also really want to learn bass. Thanks for your advice

Some great You Tube bass videos, my eldest is teaching himself bass. FYI eldest is also not down with all this gender stuff - there are some young people out there who see through it. I really hope you find your people or at least one you can talk to about this kind of thing. You sound like a great teenager - I mean that, not just a platitude.
