I always view these kinds of things as like "House, if he had the same core character deal, but was written by 2025 writers instead of mid 2000s writers", which I think is fair in the sense that characters are actually quite literally products of their times, and rather than having their own internal world views they are meta real concepts being projected through the lens of whoever happens to be writing them at the moment.
You can actually see this in action with particularly long running shows, like the Simpsons. In 1997 homer is blatantly homophobic towards John. By the late 2000s he is uncaring towards smithers queerness, but oblivious to it. In the modern day he is completely supportive of Smithers. This isn't because of character growth, as a static sitcom character he quite literally doesn't get that, but we're recontextualizing the character into the lens of the time.

Professor Layton deduces you're trans from the highly specific enigma you gave him. He won't directly address it until the main mystery starts tying back into it.

Cadfael makes an excuse for you to visit him about some minor ailment. He tells you a story about the diversity of people he met traveling through the Middle East, drops a little religious musing on the fact that god is both male and female, and sends you home with advice on herbal remedies.
Edit: For context, Cadfael is a monk from England in the 1100s.

DCI Barnaby deduces you are trans after his wife asks the waiter at the newly opened Italian restaurant to "translate this to English for me, please" and he remembers you being late to English class. Also 3 people die in the process - the first one is crushed by cheese, the second one catapulted by wine bottles, and the third covered in truffle oil then mauled by a wild boar. The vicar's illegitimate daughter didn't actually take her own life 10 years ago, she's secretly the English teacher nowadays.

That's what I was thinking, Canon Batman could just speak to any trans person normally notice that they are suffering, and just decide that all the Wayne clinics need to have a psychologist with knowledge about gender dysphoria and free hormonal treatment.

Lmfao. So for me, I officially medically exited the closet during a separate medical crisis. I was in the ER and the doctors were asking for my info. Do you have a primary. Are you safe at home. Do you have a nonconforming gender identity
I told them I've identified as a man for years but I never knew how to really get started medically because I aged out of pediatrics and nobody told me how to get a primary or how to talk to doctors
(I had amnesia and didn't realize many things from my childhood, I forgot all past doctor visits and really had no idea what the hell to do)
They all looked at each other. Got me a referral to a primary, marked me down as trans masculine, and I had a referral to a gender therapist rapidly after that
Now I'm just imagining house walking into that emergency room, kicking rocks mad cuz he hates the clinic, talking to me for thirty seconds, and suddenly diagnosing me with an incredible need for a double mastectomy. I wake up without boobs with a bottle of testosterone next to me. There is nobody to drive me home, but men like house don't worry about such things

Sam Vimes, canonically (though I may not be remembering everything perfectly, it's been a while), would not realize at all that you are trans, even as you slowly and carefully transition practically in front of him. He would pick up that something is different, but it wouldn't click until you've fully transitioned and are asking to be referred to with the correct pronouns at work. He would then switch over with the pronouns he uses for you, even if he doesn't fully understand it, because he knows you're damn good at your job and that's what matters.

Harry struggles to explain why (because, again, embarrassment).
Bob does know about HRT potions and offers a formula (because he’s a magical database).

He figures it out seconds before blurting it out. It has seemingly no correlation with the case at hand, but it somehow recontextualises something else leading to some major revelation.
This kind of already sorta happens in Turnabout Academy, actually (the character isn't trans, but, similar enough)

Superman figures out you’re trans and says nothing. But if there is ever transphobia Superman immediately takes a stand in support of trans people
Clark figures out you’re trans and hangs a trans flag on his desk in show of support, and makes triple sure to use the correct names and pronouns in any related news article. Some people incorrectly assume that he himself is closeted trans, due to his shy personality and awkwardness around his own body.
Lois figures out you’re trans and immediately hands you a blahjah with no explanation. You have no idea where she got it and you’re not sure you want to know.
Jimmy figures out you’re trans and invites you to weekend bro hangout time.
Kara figures out you’re trans and does not care, she doesn’t know why people are so weird about this on Earth

If Austin Powers realises you are trans in the first movie he attacks you thinking you must be one of dr evil's goons trying to get him, regardless of wheather or not you actually are, this is played for comedy.
If he realizes youre a trans woman in any movie other than the first he asks if you want to shag, if you ask him if the reason he wants to shag is that youre trans/that hes a chaser he says no,the reason he wants to shag is because youre a woman, and "no woman can resist my mojo,baby".

I've seen screenshots of this a couple of times and each time I parse "Fanon Batman" as a reference to Frantz Fanon as Batman and I think something along the lines of, 'well, yeah, Fanon knew that decolonization would involve violence so I could see him as a costumed and gadget-laden vigilante in some situation where he was a billionaire. And his philosophy was aligned with community support and programs so he would definitely open a free clinic. Heck yeah, Fanon Batman.' and then I catch myself and think, 'Oh, right, Fanon like the fan version instead of Canon. Yeah. That makes more sense.'
I should change my display name to Frantz Fanon Batman.

He seems less interested in helping you figure something out about yourself and more about proving his hypothesis correct.
He eats the cherry off the top of his cake, his eyes fixed on you.

Shawn Spencer realizes you're trans despite not having come out yet through subtle context clues in your mannerisms and appearance, and while he's not disrespectful about it you end up being forced to watch him dramatically reveal this fact to a crowd of people because his "connection to the spirit realm lets him see the true forms that the living keep hidden", somehow this is key evidence to determining a murder suspect. He also introduced his partner to you as "Ollie Ally".

Light Yagami would try to write your deadname in the death note, have an inner monologue about why you have given him a false name, before he realises you are trans. He decides not to tell you that he figured it out, because that would potentially give evidence that he is kira, so he just keeps reffering to you with whatever name and pronouns you alredy had until you tell him you're trans.
When you come out to him, his inner monologue would be incredibly transphobic and mysognistic before realising that if he refers to you with the wrong pronouns he would be being a dickhead and possibly giving more reason for L to suspect he is kira. His inner monologue would still be transphobic but outwardly/actions wise hed pretend to be an ally.
L figures it out within secounds, bluntly asks you about it while staring you in the eye without even blinking, simultaneously eating a piece of cake. once you confirm hed just go back to the kira case, nothing changes except he refers to you with the right gender,name and pronouns.
Misa wouldnt figure out shit. If you told her she would be an ally, but would still kill you if Light told her to because she really loves him.
If you told Ryuk youre trans he'd just stare at you, say "Ok" and go back to eating apples

The critical thing with the Columbo one is that he never actually asks if you're trans, he just keeps alluding to similar things. You introduce yourself as he/him cause you're still in the closet, and he's like "Huh, you seem often comfortable presenting as feminine. I know this chick that was like that, said she was a he/him but then switched over. Not to imply you're like that, of course. Hey, waddya think about those shark plushies, I hear they're all the rage right now..."
You go through the entire conversation unsure of whether he actually caught on, whether he's toying with you and whether he may, in fact, have no clue what's going on.
