I just can't

Recap: I'm a transman in a very homophobic and transphobic family.

Recently, I bought a ticket to a party organised by our school. It's in 3 weeks, and I was thinking of putting on some relaxed jeans, a white T and an opened shirt. It's not elegant, but not too relaxed either. I never liked being too elegant since it just doesn't match my vibe. But my mother insists I wear a dress or a skirt, or she suggested a 2 piece suit, but with a tight shirt ( meaning my boobs will show). I refused, and she keeps blaming it all on me again, saying I am ruining the family and other personal stuff I cannot discuss here. I don't know what to do anymore. I can't even feel free outside of my home, because now I'm pressured into wearing what my mother wants. If I just don't wear what she wants, she will start arguing with me again and I'm tired of it. I just can't seem to find something that will make me feel comfortable, and that will satisfy my mom.

Judging by the fact that I can't view your profile, I have to assume you're under 18. That's unfortunate, because until you're of age, she does get to have the final say in what you wear. I'm not advocating that this is a good thing, and I wish your mother could understand the damage she is doing. But sadly, unless you go to the trouble of keeping a change of clothes somewhere else, there isn't much you can do.
