I think in this situation a discrete wave would be best. It let's them know you see them and support them without having to interact. I have both recieved and given such waves on numerous occasions. Of course if you see me out with any of my Transgender things I don't care come on up and talk. But I'm pretty much out and don't care at all. I wear transpride stuff so others will maybe see it and have courage to be themselves. I dont care if someone has a problem with me I am who I am and can handle myself.

I know that the first few times I went out in public I was nervous as all get-out. The only defense I had was the assumption that I would be read. I took it as a given. I have experienced some smirks, overheard whispers between a man and his wife, genuine smiles and more than a few conversations, all courteous and encouraging, but also fairly obvious indications that I did not pass. Had my expectations been too high, I migh have been crushed.
Not everyone is emotionally prepared for any of those eventualities.
I have seen other cross dressers out in public, of course. Some presented very well and others not so much. Eitherway, I chose NOT to impose upon them.

There are unwritten rules in the UK that would cover this situation. Unless you both have dogs you do not speak to each other. If you both have dogs chat away. 🐕😀
