The rest of the world will never care about trans rights, you have to accept that. It's seen as mental illness because it is mental illness to them. You have to build bridges with traditional cultures, but instead the typical response is "bigot!" which is precisely why nobody outside the US cares
Well that's not true, they'll care eventually. Progress takes time, and just like being gay was and is in certain areas seen as a mental illness, eventually the stigma will be worn away until only the truly fanatical cultures still have issues with it.
It's also worth mentioning the conceptions of gender varies wildly cross culturally. Many cultures have millennia of trans acceptance pre-colonization. Truly the hegemonic obsession with gender is the anomaly in human history (i.e. shampoo...FOR MEN).
