Here’s the biggest study I found that actually followed trans people for a long time. It appears that actual suicides were 12 / 3759 = less than 1/3 of 1%. That’s still highly tragic, but a far cry from “live son or dead daughter.”

“Overall, 3759 individuals (0.06%; 52.5% assigned male sex at birth) were identified as transgender at a median age of 22 years (IQR, 18-31 years) and followed up during 21 404 person-years, during which 92 suicide attempts, 12 suicides, and 245 suicide-unrelated deaths occurred.”
Furthermore, this study shows that the suicide rate for post operative trans people is much higher than average, indicating that likely the underlying issue is mental health, regardless of whether friends and family conform to the trans agenda.
I have no idea how to deal with an individual situation of someone close to me threatening suicide, but I find that facts and statistics can often help me react to things in a more calm, less emotional way. I wish you the best with your child.
Good data, but again, no such thing as actually "transgender". Just a more severe psychological problem that perhaps occurred before social media contagion and is extremely rare. Still a mental problem that medical mutilation violates do no harm (malpractice) People cope with all sorts of serious mental problems without amputating and rearranging healthy body parts or taking wrong sex hormones.
They are deeply brainwashed/ indoctrinated as young people. They are not necessarily dumb! It is not themselves making poor choices completely. Think of it a a possession of their minds and you might be less judgemental.

This is a good history of the trans / suicide myth’s origins.

There's no indication of whether getting medical treatment raised or lowered the risk. Or social transition.
A rigorous evidence review found the same. Insufficient data to determine effect on suicide.
And this group already has many comorbidities so they could be the cause of suicides observed too.
