Gender variant expression is found across all human societies (probably gender/sexual dysphoria too), but transgender identification (and third genders) seems highly culturally dependent.
Hard to know what impact language has. It's perfectly possible that in cultures without as much linguistic gendering, there's less trans identification because there's less gendered language to attach to or push away from.
