the world couldn't see you for who you are, because of your body and internal organs?

How would you react if you woke up one day in the opposite sex's body, and then every day after you were living like that?

Why would you want to cope, knowing that there isn't anything you can do about it?

Do you tell people you want to change your name, and don't want people referring to you with the "proper" gender pronouns?
-- of course not, 90%+ of people will just disown you.

Do any of your friends still accept you?

How do you deal with living your life as the wrong gender, and therefore sexuality?

Does anyone accept you?

I didn't think so.

I think you may be approaching this all too pessimistically.
Sure, it would be difficult for people to get their head around and accept but it isn't impossible. Some people would need more time than others. And yes, some wouldn't be able to accept it.

I believe that you can't have any procedures done before you reach 18, am I right?
Tbh, I would advise you hold off for a bit before you tell anyone. Let your hormones settle down a bit so that people can't try to use imbalance of hormones to explain away how you feel.

Depends how you define 'procedures'
i've heard of hrt as young as 12, but surgery is 18+ because of the whole body developing thing

Tbh, I would still advise you waiting.
I don't say this to belittle how you feel or what you are experiencing.
I say this as it will be easier then as you won't have to argue against the view that it is just your hormones playing up.

Indeed, I am very for people doing what they want when it comes to sexuality (other than dodgey sexual acts)
But I would wait until you have played the field a bit, enjoy what you can in your current gender and if you still feel otherwise, go for it. Do what makes you happy, but wait until you are mature enough (emotionally/mentally/physically) to make these decisions
