    I've already come out as a lesbian to my dad, when I didn't realize I was trans. It was immensely relieving. Now, in order to feel comfortable as Jake, I need to tell him I'm transgender. However, I'm having huge amounts of anxiety about it. Tips?

    I'm no expert here, I'm not out myself, but if your dad was completely fine with your being lesbian then sounds like being transgender won't faze him. I'd talk to him about gender identity crisis and work up from there. I have similar problems there as well, as when you're too young for something serious lesbian and transgender seem very similar. Either way, the two of us are somewhere in that zone. Good luck!
