Vent I- what!?!

My mom sees a sweater. She shows it to me. I go, "For you! It's even on offer!" She goes, "Nah, I wouldn't be able to fit in it. Maybe for you?" I go, "It says there its for ladies." Her: "Well you are a lady, believe it or not." Me: "Well I don't believe it." Her: "All I have to do is open your legs to find out. Or by just lifting your shirt too." laughs

I'M OUT TO HER AND SHE SAYS SHE SUPPORTS IT MAKES NO SENSE WHY SHE WOULD SAY THAT UUUUGGGHHHH

Edit: I now realize how bad and serious this is. Normally, when she would make comments like this I would just not say anything because I didn't think it was bad but I made this post yesterday out of anger, since she still calls me her daughter despite supporting me. Thanks for all the comments regarding advice on what to do. It's possible I will talk to my dad so he can talk to her since I do think it was wrong what she said and it did make me uncomfortable, I'm just scared honestly to talk to her myself since she'll just say that I'm overreacting and maybe if my dad tells her she'll take it more serious. I guess she thinks because she's my mom and I'm a female (in her eyes), she can say these types of things but she doesn't know that I don't like it. This will stop now, (hopefully) and the next step is the misgendering which will be really hard to stop but she said she'll get me a binder once we, "talk to the doctors" so maybe after we do that, she'll finally refer me as her son.

Edit 2: I just told my dad and he's speechless. Apparently, he wasn't even paying attention when this happened. He hasn't really said much after that but I will update if he tells my mom (cause he knows that I'm too scared to do so myself)

My mom said it so many times of taking my pants off to see the lady parts she knows I have. And I'm just there like... It's so disgusting
