Allowing a person to socially transition decreases the risk of suicide and suicidal ideation. Please see the PFLAG or The Trevor Project for actually statistics.

While it may reduce the risk of suicide and intent, the idea of doing such a thing in the first place to a child is wrong. In general children are unable to get irreversible things done to their body with or without parental permission for a reason. This should be no different than that, and despite the potential for suicide, what happens if they're wrong? Its just as likely for them to relapse into suicidal ideation.
The precedence of a government being able to say who someone can or cannot identify as is a dangerous road when considering it can potentially be applied to the self-identification of certain political groups and protected classes.
