I don't think I've ever met a trans person in my life. At least not that I recall. But my point is, no one I personally know is trans. I think I'd be able to tell or guess if they were.

As for gay people, there's some people I've met throughout my life that I strongly suspected were gay. Obviously I didn't ask nor they tell me so, but I wasn't the only one to get that impression from the vibe they gave off.

But, ofc, for all I know, there might be plenty of gay people out there that fly under the radar. Recently in my country there was a somewhat known politician who came out as gay. I don't know the guy personally nor have I ever met him or seen him in public, but judging from his body language and his tone of voice on TV, I wouldn't have guessed him to be gay. Several people were somewhat surprised as well.

There are cases of gay men who spend or spent nearly their whole lives hiding the fact they were gay. Some of them while even married to women. And, somehow, not even their wives could tell something was off. My mother knew this woman who was married to the same man for 30 years. Until one day, he came home and confessed to her he was gay and had fallen in love with a man. The woman was shocked by this and never forgave him for lying to her for around 3 decades. Must have been one nasty divorce, I imagine.
