She couldn't connect with the voice of the novel. Still, her rejection was kind and supportive.

I submitted to Therese in January and discovered that one of the other agents later blocked me on twitter despite me never interacting with them. I presume they checked out my twitter after my submission went to their agency's email and saw my tweets in support of trans people which are a heavy contrast with their beliefs. There is a chance they stumbled across me in another way. I can't tell people who to submit to and not to submit to, but especially if you are trans or support the trans community, I recommend you not waste your time and find another agency because you are unlikely to get far here.

From their website:
We are interested in international fiction, but US authors may be better served by an agent in the US in the first instance unless there is a compelling reason to have a UK agent.
As I am in the US....this is a pass. Posting to help others.
