I'm so sorry that your dad died. I've been there, and I know grief is tough. There's no one right way to go about it, and it takes a long time to fully process things. It doesn't ever go away fully but it will get easier to deal with as the years go by.
Yeah, I wish they'd teach teenagers that in school. Had most of us been given the information on what a trans person is and how to come out, it would have made life so much easier and saved a lot of trouble, but alas.
On the bright side, you did all the legwork and got to where you're supposed to be now. That's one of the hardest parts, to figure out what the problem is and identify it.
I wish you all the best in your transition. Remember to love and take care of yourself.
I did the exact same thing with Wikipedia when I was in my early teens (´-﹏-；)`
