Discrimination against Transgender people in Science Academia?

Hello, I am transgender woman who haven't transitioned yet. I am currently in undergrad majoring in Chemistry who wants to become a researcher in science. I am worried that coming out and transitioning will hamper my future severely and ruin my future as being scientist. Would professors refuse or unwilling to work with me if I transition? What should I expect?

Edit: I am from US.

Researchers are just people, so no blanket statements apply. Some professors may be very supportive, others may be uncomfortable, and others may not care at all. 

In general the North American academic environment is pretty woke and accommodating of all kinds of people, so you are unlikely to face overt discrimination. If you do, you will have the support of your institution and robust LGBTQ resources that may not be as well developed in private enterprise.
