This issue of pronoun is really fascinating and interesting. In my African native language there is no he or she. We only have they. And further the language is only spoken and not written. But in English this issue is really a hot button issue.

Treat your son as you would normally treat him. Listen to his feelings, but remember that you're the adult here. Don't let him be influenced by the wrong people both in-person or online.

Just don’t do anything stupid. In fact, you don’t have to do anything. Just accept it and follow their lead. Do what they tell you.

If you’re in the DC area rainbow families can also be a good resource for socializing with other queer families.

Look up PFLAG. Very helpful resources. At this phase, follow your child’s lead. That’s all you need to do at this point

The number one thing is support. Use the pronouns they ask you to as a starting point. Help them get supportive counseling. Are you in DC? Whitman-Walker is a good resource.

How old are they?
Ask them what it means to them
Whether it’s a phase or not, be supportive and stay connected.

Start by moving away from “son” and “he” assuming they are M to F. Then start by asking what support they need.

Our son just told us that he is trans. What does that mean? This is an honest question. Please help us parents.
