Wait untill you have indipendence or moved out beofre coming out, but if thats not an option then communicate with a friend that knows to see if youcan stay with them if your mom dosn't take it the right way

Is your mom supportive of LGBTQ+?

If your mom is LGBTQ+ supportive (and honestly I'd make sure she's specifically trans-supportive first), then having independence or an alternate place to stay is a lesser concern, but I have seen cases (I'd still consider them edge cases) where "homophobic"/"transphobic" parents have been neutral or even accepting, and also cases where "progressive"/"accepting" parents have suddenly decided that it's only okay for "other people" not for their child.

If you’ve come out to her as pan already and she was ok, that’s promising, if you haven’t come out as pan that could be a good way to test the waters if you want to come out but aren’t fully sure if she’s supportive of queer people.
