#I have to come out to my mom but I don't know if it's a good idea

So basically I'm bi (or gay idrk) and I firstly told my dad who was not supportive but not hating like "Do what you want". But I talked about that ONLY TO HIM, not to my mother. Because I have some impression that she would probably not support me and my sexuality at all. First, when she sometimes feels that something is wrong with me (like effeminate manners) she always says "You're scaring me"... And then when she talks about trans she always says "Don't you dare to become a drag Queen or a trans or I will humiliate you like you did.". Also the tension due to my two parents separated is also a reason why I don't talk about that to her, since it would make her even more mad about me and my father (for no reason though). So what do you think, should I come out to her anyway? Or should I wait longer?

I think (and it's probably something you thought about..) that you don't have to do it. It's your life and, if you want her yo know then tell her. But if it make you uncomfortable then just wait until your ready and until you think she is !

I'm not ready yes, but I think she would really be mad if she knows that I hid that to her

She's like that because it's your mother and she cares about you (maybe I'm wrong, I don't know your family history..) but I agree with Aquami. You can say no to her, when you're ready. There is time !
