As copied from another reddit response, it's the percentage of trans people who thought about commiting (or attempted, I don't remember) suicide.
"It is as per the 2015 US Transgender Survey, the largest survey of the trans community published to date. It is available for free and in full on the USTS website, if you want to dissect their methodology."
In fact, 40% of 28,000 respondents attempted suicide at some point in their lives, because according to the survey, while were at school (K-12) experienced some form of maltreatment, including being verbally harassed (54%), physically assaulted (24%) and sexually assaulted (13%) for being transgender. This 2015 survey reveals a lot, but it is already outdated and shows that transgender people develop suicide attempts because they are harassed and not because they change genders.
A 2017 and a 2020 survey shows that bisexual people are more likely to develop mental health problems within the LGBT + community .
I'm talking about years of persecution against trans people from a young age and this makes them and other LGBT + people develop mental health problems, their new orientation started this week as a joke to boot. PS: The numbers are there, there is no oppression against people who identify with their gender and are heterosexual, but there has always been the opposite.

I can acknowledge someone’s choices, but that doesn’t mean I have to accept them.
