Hercule Poirot deduces you are trans by accident because he suspected you of murder and broke into your house and searched your stuff then puts 2 and 2 together when Hastings makes an innocuous observation about your fashion sense or something and he jumps up and cries “mon dieu!!!” before striding over to you kissing you on both cheeks and saying “ah, cher ami, you must live as you choose!” and then running off to confront the real culprit while you stand there in befuddlement
Columbo deduces you're trans from context clues while he's talking to you about the area, immediately uses your preferred pronouns and starts telling you about his cousin, who's also transgender, and how they got this job doing security, and how they told him that a security guard always locks up, and asks you if the guard locked up last night, and isn't it weird the place was open? And you're like, well, someone else must have opened it up. Maybe the guy in charge? He has a spare key. And then he nods and goes "the guy in charge has a spare key... well, how about that?" And then he offers you a cigar and wanders off, and a day later your boss gets arrested for murder.
Fanon Batman deduces you are trans and suddenly a free hormone clinic opens up by your home a couple months later

Miss Marple refers to you by your correct pronouns because it is the polite thing to do, and she quietly adds, "And of course, like calls to like, my dear" before returning to her knitting with a smile.
Nancy Drew finds out you are trans from a subtle hint you dropped when talking to her, though probably not before you had started to suspect it yourself. She is very excited to infodump about any related questions you have, even though you didn't realize anyone would take your casual asides as questions. Then she brings you magazine articles related to your unique situation, which she found in someone else's house. She continues to email you educational materials after she's long gone from your geographical region, but stops as soon as you have any issues sorted out, without having to be directly told that you have reached a new point in your gender journey. You don't recall ever giving her your contact info. If she hears anyone misgendering you on purpose, their whole life will be ruined before the week is out
