What kind of tree is this?

There are a couple of adult trees nearby that look similar, but not quite the same. I think those ones are cherry of some sort. Could this be a cherry too? Ps. I will be so embarrassed if this is just some shrub and not a tree.

Edit: region is northeastern USA. It's in a naturalistic garden so if it's not going to hurt anything I want to let it grow.

It's open on one side and is two rooms deep. I can post more photos once I get home! It's in rough cosmetic shape but very solid. I'm excited to start renovations!

I am a twenty year old transgender man. I am living with my parents to save money while attending college. Currently my parents are down a car, and since the car I paid for half of at 17 is in their name (so insurance is cheaper), I do not have free access to it anymore. My mom is an insanely anxious person and will grill me on where I'm going and what I'm doing there any time I say I'm leaving the house. It's really difficult to lie to her, I swear, she's psychic or something and won't take 'you won't like the answer' for an answer either. This hasn't really been a problem, except I want to engage in hookups.

Today I told my mom I was planning on going out, and she cried, begging me to tell her where I'm going. Eventually I told her I was planning on hooking up with someone I met through an app. She wouldn't let me leave. I tried explaining all of the precautions I have taken regarding STIs(use condoms, and bringing hiv rapid test(still working on obtaining prep).

My mom sais she's more worried about people hooking up with me on purpose to kill me for being trans. So I offered to install a tracking app on my phone. She started bawling because "it won't help if you're already dead." I told her that I'm not more concerned about being killed by a hookup than I am being killed by anyone else. I disclose my genitalia before meeting people, and other trans people are finding hookups in my area this same way. I do not live in a particularly dangerous/transphobic state either.

She says no parent would knowingly allow their child to do this in her situation. While that may be true. I don't think most parents would make it necessary for their 20 year old son to disclose what I disclosed before he can leave the house.

At this point I'm at my wits end. I feel really disrespected by her.

I feel like I have no autonomy.

Im not sure if I should buy a car, or even move fully out at this point.

TL;DR

Mom thinks I'm going to get killed if I hookup with people online, because I'm trans. She won't let me use my car, which is not in my name, to travel to hookups. Should I buy a car? Is there some other solution I haven't considered?
