Unveiling their truest self! Leon Brown, the child of Sister Wives stars Kody and Meri Brown, has come out as transgender.
“Someone recently told me that I didn’t have to have all of my s–t figured out in order for me to share myself with the world,” Leon, 26, wrote via Instagram on Tuesday, June 28, alongside a photo of themselves posing for the camera. “So here’s me, definitely not having almost any of my s–t figured out, to let you know that I am trans. My name is Leon or Leo (i love both) and my pronouns are they/them.”
The TLC personality went on to detail their journey toward figuring out their identity, revealing how long they’ve known who they are.
“I was pretty young & unfortunately I grew up in a context that was incredibly gendered & restrictive,” Leon explained. “So I continued to be socialized as a girl & later a woman. and here’s the thing, I’m finally ready to share my favorite self with the world. and that self is incredibly genderqueer, trans, and unapologetic.”
The Utah native called being queer and trans some of their “favorite parts of myself.” However, admitted that there are “so many things that I am learning to love about myself through the process” as they “continually evolve” to be the most authentic version of themselves.
Leon concluded the post by setting important boundaries. “If you choose to not use my correct name or pronouns, then you do not need to speak to or about me,” they said. “My name is Leo or Leon, and my pronouns are they/them. Please only refer to me in that way.”
Kody, 53, has yet to react to the announcement and the two are not currently following each other on the social media platform. Meri, 51, however, shared Leon’s post via her Instagram Story on Tuesday.
