I need some help
So for like a year or two I thought I was a lesbian. But then! I realized I was trans and all my friends think I’m a lesbian and I’m not afraid to tell them...

Crisis mode (I want to murder the god that decided I'd be AFAB)
Did anyone else convince themself they were special and puberty wouldn't happen to them when they found out what it was? Well I did and just prayed other people...
Before I say anything I want to let you know that I also support you. If anything I say sounds outdated, I apologize, I'm from Southeast Asia so I'm not really familiar with this. If this doesn't sound correct please disregard what I am saying.
Are you a minor, like 13-17? If so I can kind of understand your parents because they still view you as a child because they are the people that raised you. I'm not sure what you mean by "make a decision" though. If you mean simply treat you as a boy, use masculine terms, etcetra, then I don't understand. Because even if it is "too early," these are things that could be taken back. It's not a dramatic, irreversible change. I think if you speak to them about simply treating you in this way, you can reach some kind of agreement.
If you're 18, then I would suggest becoming independent as soon as possible if this is something that you really want to pursue.
If you are referring to physical changes, then you are in charge of that. I am assuming you are from North America and I believe you can get surgery/hormones(?) there. Because here you can't have any changes to your body until you are 18, and when you are 18, you still need parent signatures until you are at least 21, but I don't know how it is elsewhere.
And if, (maybe) you are a minor who wants physical changes, then I fully think you should wait until the legal adult age in your country for safety reasons. However, I believe you should transition in the way that you want to, by changing your pronouns, name, altering your clothing or hair, etc. in a way that makes you feel more comfortable in your own skin.
Good luck, I support you.
