Be honest- will being nonbinary and using they/them pronouns make it nearly impossible to get roles?

Hey everyone, getting into acting again after a long break. During the break, I came to terms not mapping neatly onto a gender binary and have recently embraced the fact that I’m intersex. I do appear as a woman to most, I’m not “visibly intersex”, and I am not currently on hormones. I do know that many will skip over me if they see my pronouns based on only that, but I am wondering if anyone has any insight into how hard it is to get taken seriously if you enter the industry as an openly nonbinary person. My interests currently lie primarily theatre but I would like to explore screen acting a bit. I do not mind playing women at all, nor would I mind playing men or characters beyond the binary.

Looking for honesty more than reassurance. I am at peace with the idea that this could stop me from being able to seriously pursue this, but I also don’t want to assume it’s fucked if that isn’t the case. Thank you!

MET Opera rush tickets- is online or in person prioritized?

I really, really want to see Innocence tomorrow Saturday at 1pm and would have to bus in from out of town. I am on a strict budget and wondering, how likely would I be to get a rush ticket if I wait at the box office a few hours beforehand? Or will people buy them all up on the online system before I get a chance? It seems their matinee rush tickets work differently but I find the wording confusing. I have never been to the met before, any advice? I did not find an online lottery to register for unfortunately, and it would mean a lot to me as I get a lot out of processing hard experiences through art and have been around multiple shootings including a school, but I can barely afford family balcony and they are selling out faster than rest of the place. Any advice on when is best to get there or firsthand experiences is hugely appreciated
