I’m getting my name legally changed next week and my dad is being weird about it.

My mom is really transphobic — she knows I’m trans but doesn’t support me. My dad is neutral/supportive. I came out to him when I was 15 and I’m in my early 20s now. I’m going to the court hearing for my legal name change next week and I invited him to come with me. I hoped he would be excited for me but instead said all of this. Is this weird to you guys? I have NO idea why he’s asking me if someone influenced me to do this. I’ve never said anything like that and I’ve always been very clear with him that I am trans simply because I am — no one “made” me that way. The ending also makes me feel like he’s trying to scare me out of doing this. I don’t know why he suddenly seems to be getting cold feet when he’s been relatively supportive up until this point.

I don’t know what to do. It feels like the entire world is against me. I’m excited to get my name changed but now I just feel shitty.
