How do I tell my brain to shut up or something

(not sure if I used the right flair) I've been out for about 2 years, felt like something's off for at least 4 years. I finally came to terms with that fact recently, but now I have a different problem. I'm a teenager and what I'm worried about is that this might be just a phase, that this will pass when I get older. Some people identify as trans as teenagers and then it turns out that for them it was just a phase, I get told that on a regular basis by my mom and I get it, I'm not trying to deny it, but I don't want to turn out like those people. I only know about one thing from my childhood that could point to me really being trans (I remember little to nothing from my childhood but that's not important) and that was going like "I wish I was a boy" when seeing a bunch of guys, but then again I've been SA'd as a kid too, so I guess in my case being trans might be a trauma response or something. Yeah, having to tell people that I'm not trans anymore would be a bit awkward and all, but that's not my biggest concern, I don't want to not be trans, I don't have a huge reason for why that is, I just don't want that to happen. So, how do I tell my brain to suck it up, that things will get clearer with time and actually start believing it? (I might've gone off track, I do that sometimes when writing bigger posts and I'm in a bit of a hurry, sorry for that)
