Advice for trans wannabe actor

So, I haven't had the opportunity to do any acting due to living overseas. I'm back in the states now, and making plans to get an agent and all the other important stuff set up. My only concern is... I want to transition. I don't plan on getting any surgeries for a while, but I would like to go on HRT. I am short, my voice is high, I keep my hair long and I have soft features, I don't really pass. Would deciding to transition nix my chances in getting roles? Or should I try and start my transition *before* getting set up with an agent or agency? ​Any advice would help. Thank you.
