Today for the VERY FIRST TIME, VERY FIRST, a friend spoke with me using the correct pronouns.
She knows I am transitioning, but I never asked her to. She is seeing me as me I believe. This event has relieved my dysphoria to such a degree I feel my shoulders and back are relaxed, it is like she lifted a huge weight of my back.
She gave me hope I will one day be through this and have a normal life.
