I'm trying to find agents who are likely to be interested in themes of gender, gender identity, coming-out as gender-atypical, all that kind of stuff.

AgentQuery.com, Querytracker.net, and PublishersMarketPlace.com all have dropdown value lists of genres by which to search agents, but the closest equivalent of what I'm looking for that appears in these dropdowns is "gay and lesbian". I'm making use of that, but is there any good resource for finding agents based on more specialized or esoteric categories of interest? In particular, any resources for folks whose writing touches upon transgender and genderqueer and similar gender issues?

This would probably do better in Ask the Agent (which is really asking ABOUT agents).

To answer your question: Probably the best thing to do is use the Gay and Lesbian list, then check the folks on it to see if they might be interested in your particular area.
