My mom respects other trans people, just not me ig

Can’t remember if I’ve ranted about this before, if so I’m sorry but it’s just gotten to me again.
So basically back in 2021 around this time I came out to my mom and family as non-binary and pansexual, since then I’ve realized I’m a demiboy, and I go by he/it pronouns. None of my family calls me he and just stick to they/them (more like she/they but whatever.)
What’s frustrating is that my mom works at a middle school and even outside of school when she’s talking to me abt some of her students who happen to be trans.
She can always gender those trans students correctly but never me. And it’s just frustrating and upsetting. But when I asked her about it once she said “well if your dad heard he call you a boy I don’t want another incident” (incident being he was really high and drunk one time and angry so he tried to leave.)
She’s also told me that since I’m not a “real boy” she can’t call me he/him. It’s just upsetting how she can respect other trans people but not me. Her own child.
Sorry if this seems selfish since I’m posting on Mother’s Day but it’s just frustrating.
She also told me it’s different with me since she “has to live with me, so it’s different.” I love her and we get along almost all the time aside from that. It’s just upsetting.

(Btw sorry abt formatting, I’m posting from my phone.)
