^There's no point in arguing whether Kanae is trans or not - we will know more when more chapters come out. Also, everything you have mentioned are not for certain and are mere assumptions.

Kanae did not show any desire for  Tsukiyama  to know his (I'll be using male pronouns for now) biological gender, all that was stated was that everyone other than Shuu has noticed it. As for the declaration of love, nowhere does it indicate it as a romantic love nor does it direct to Shuu - it was "I want to be loved" - may be romantic, but possibly familial love as well. Regarding the bed, it is more likely to be referring back to what Eto said when they first met: Kanae may have simply wanted Tsukiyama to continue staying bedridden and care for him peacefully, as he has noted that the days were frustrating when Tsukiyama would dwell completely in the business of Kaneki and never anything else close to him.

Of course, it can have romantic implications, but until stated more clearly those are mere speculations and it is why there are all these arguments going on at the moment. Also note that it was Eto who told Kanae Tsukiyama doesn't love him (again, no romantic implications here) and that he wants Tsukiyama to himself. It implies Kanae holding Tsukiyama precious as either a master or more. In addition to Kanae's currently crazed state of mind, the facts are even more so confusing for any actual conclusions to be made.

Lastly, transgenders can love men. Performing a sex change is generally due to a conflicting gender identity. Romantic interest can be a cause too, but that's not a definite factor. Homosexuality is a real thing.
