I know two trans men, no trans woman (that I know of), and having known them before they transitioned, it was obvious in a way but not blatant. It has nothing to do with cross-dressing
Spikey BXL:
I love that this club goes to lengths many don't because they fear backlash from supporters.

Most trans people I met don't show much outwardly though, it's a very personal thing, for a while at least. Of course, the more you're familiar with the culture, the easier it is to pick up hints. Maybe transgender men have it different though: once you grow a beard and/or mustache, the facial bones don't stand out

A couple of shows ago, you played You Are The Everything, I think for Mrs. Currents, I was on a walk, luckily with my shades on, because it had me weeping the whole time. Not sure I was able to thank you back then.
I then proceeded to send it to a friend who had just lost his mom the week before, only to get the reply: spot on, also my fave song on Green.
