I told my dad I was trans and he bascically said I was too young to transition. If I was 20 or 25 he would accept me, but 15 is too young. Any tips?

Personally I would respond with "it's who I am whether you like it or not", but I'm also a chaotic person... But you could make it obvious you want to stay the gender you want to be, and maybe he will start accepting you, probably realizing you aren't gonna change just because of his comment.

you shouldnt have body changing stuff happening to you when youre not even an adult yet

or he could support them and just say that hes not comfortable with them medically transitioning yet

not really

what it looks like is he is saying is that he wont accept them till they are older

I thought he just meant that they are too young to transition

i mean technically they arent

and that it would be better at an older age

It's not helpful, though
