Got my first rejection letter where I got gendered correctly

My dysphoria is not giving me a choice anymore. After the last time I went to interviews and had to pretend to be a guy after having been full-time a girl for months, I was unofficially suggested to cut my hair and go back into the closet - I was anxious with panic attacks and suicidal ideations even due to having to pretend to be a guy, but that was the last drop in the water that made me decide I have to out myself in my cover letters.

It really eliminates a lot of anxiety about when and how to come out during the first interview or later - not wanting to seem like I am trying to use the trans card to cry discrimination in case they then don't hire me; if the company will be ok with me being trans; and even just already being able to show up authentically to the first interview as my identified gender; and in general just being able to concentrate on the interview itself rather than on what to do with just that one particular aspect, and not to be visibly way more nervous than the average person they interview / not to seem like I'm really trying to hide something because of it.
