Leon Brown: So Here's Me

Message added by Scarlett45,

Leon is transgender and uses they/them pronouns. As defined in the GLAAD guidelines, they are a they, were a they, and will be a they unless they ever tell us something different.  Per those guidelines, referring to them as a woman or a girl or as she is not okay, regardless of any modifier placed before these words or the time period being discussed.  Referring to them by any name besides "Leon" or "Leo" is not appropriate, regardless of the time period being discussed. Intent matters and people may slip up. Let's strive to respect their identity.

Please review the guidelines of the site regarding the Hate Speech and Insensitive Language Policy, which includes guidelines from GLAAD for the LGBTQ+ community.

Also remember the Golden Rule of Primetimer is Be Civil.

I remember pictures of avocado toast.  Out of the four fruits that masquerade as vegetables, I only like one:  cucumbers.  So I don't get the avocado/guacamole thing that is popular.

Audrey seems far nicer IMO than Mariah.  Hopefully some of their pleasantness has modified Mariah's unpleasantness to a more acceptable level.

I agree, I think they both probably put on some Covid pounds, and they never seemed to post very healthy foods.  Audrey’s might also be due to whatever medication/hormones Audrey is on.  Mariah’s might also be her genes, Meri’s pretty hefty, so if you add in the crappy diet and pandemic pounds, it might explain the weight gain.  Also, if Mariah is working an actual job now she might not have time to roll around doing “yoga” videos, so maybe she’s more sedentary.
 

 She always seemed chunky or whatever you might call a sturdier frame even at her thinnest.  She might have been eating less back when she was dealing with all the catfish nonsense and not being out too.  I don’t know if she eats more or less when she’s stressed.  I at least appreciate she’s not shilling Plexus claiming it’s curbing her cravings. Either way I don’t really care if they are fat, thin,or in between but Mariah looks like she’s 45, now I’m not sure if that is weight gain or just an odd combination of facial features from Meri and Kody.

I’ve been thinking this for years. That black hair she’s been sporting really ages her, and probably weight gain too. She looks like a frumpy middle aged woman who completely gave up trying, except for that black box dye.

Do any of you watch I Am Jazz?  It’s on TLC and there’s a forum for it around here. It captures the journey of a trans woman Jazz, as she and her family contend with establishing herself into the life of being trans in this country, Bottom surgery, advocating LGBTQ rights and getting into Harvard.  It began when Jazz was just a teen and has sort of run its course. I’m wondering if there could be a TLC series in the works for Audrey and Mariah!!!   I mean, the premise does have potential. Just saying…….lol.

I saw bits of Jazz's show a few years ago. It's not the type of show I'm interested in, but I remember her positive vibe and see how she can be a great role model for other transgender teens and adults. Unlike Mariah, who is the total opposite of her in every single way.

Let's hope the TLC crew doing the SW filming have seen enough of Mariah to make a mad run for the door if anyone in the big office is ever going to suggest this! I bet she's a huge nightmare to work with. And don't forget Meri, who no doubt is going to worm herself in. I doubt there's going to be much fun in such a show: Two whining people who know better than anyone else in this universe who are going to lecture us on how to lead our lives and on how to treat other people. No thank you...

Haven’t seen it in a while but I also got good vibes from her. She seems authentic and shares her true struggles.

I don’t see Mariah and Audrey being so authentic, at least not Mariah anyways. Unless she’s changed, I’d expect to see more negative versus positive. Angry. Tantrum-y. Always wanting more.

I sincerely hope there’s never a spin-off with those two, Mariah (and her greedy mother) might well ruin it.

Good for Audrey for living her truth. They look very happy, seem like a great role model, and I was pleased to see loving comments from Aspyn and "likes" from Hunter on more than one post.

This is, incidentally, also a very interesting turn of events in the context of Mariah's upbringing. I'm not sure I'd want to see Kody in the same room with the two of them, but it is kind of fun imagining how much this must freak him out. That is, if he noticed. (Does he notice *anything* going on with those "other families," beyond the patio of the manse?)

This is someting I have wondered about considering his fundamental beliefs. He seemed very accepting on the show, like the wives. Are they really? Or was it for the sake of the show and do they privately cringe and condemn Audrey, Mariah and Gwen? I personally believe the latter.

Let's face it and be brutally honest here: Homosexuality goes completely against their fundamentalist mormon beliefs, particularly one that actively promotes the traditional male-female(s) relationship. And Audrey also identifies as non-binary (so far for male-female) Also, the Browns have also been very specific about clothes and appearance, though not as extreme as the Duggars, but still. Both Audrey and Mariah have a very specific (unisex) style and a bunch of piercings and I believe tattoos. None of this goes particularly well with the Browns who already cringe when they see a simple short sleeved t-shirt.

When I read back what I have just written, I just cannot believe that Kody has fully accepted Mariah, which is so sad. But then again, he doesn't care much for 13 of his 18 kids anyways.

Well I hope they are as happy as they are portraying themselves.

It reminds me of Meri and her over the top fake “look at how much fun we’re having!!!!” Fridays with friends… They laugh and laugh and LAUGH like morons to prove how awesomely happy they are… everything is hilarious… what a load of BS… if Meri is questioned at all, even slightly her UGLY side is quick to emerge.

Meri isn’t a SUPER HAPPY person with a heart of gold and neither is Mariah…. They’ve both shown how judgemental and ugly they can be if even slightly challenged about anything

Yeah, I have sort of believed Mariah is holding back. Whether for job reasons, or she just doesn't want to hurt Audrey at this point in Audrey's life, is kind of questionable. Something has shut Mariah down and I'm not sure whether job or relationship related.

Unfortunately, I have to agree with you that they indeed look a bit smelly. Maybe because of their scruffy way of clothing? That doesn’t help.

Audrey is definitely growing facial hair. I’m assuming it’s a direct result of hormone treatment? I thought Audrey identified as non-binary? 

If you take testosterone, you can't control the effects. For some people, they could take T at a full dose (to get cis-male levels) and never grow a chin hair, and for others they can do a low dose (slower results) and sprout a full beard almost immediately. There's a lot of different factors like genetics that play into it. 

And yes, there are non-binary people who choose to take testosterone, either to look fully male or to slowly shape themselves into a more androgynous look, but, again, you can't control what features will appear first or how they work. 

I've been told if you look to close male family members like father/brother/uncles, that usually indicates how your own facial hair might grow. If Audrey's family runs to the hirsute side, they may see faster effects.

Does anyone know if they are students, working, interning, influencers……..? They sure seem happy.  

I seem to recall reading that Mariah was working at a seniors home or center as a program director ??? and that Audge was freelancing as an artist preparing advertising.  One of her appointments is Director of Publicity and Advertising for Lizzie's Heritage Inn.😂

Agree on the nose ring and about looking happy. My optician always told me they had to match the size and shape of the face. Those glasses are way too big if you ask me.

I agree, the glasses look way too big for their face. All I focus on are the glasses (and the whiskers).

The picture is reversed, so I see there is a wedding band type ring on Audrey’s left-hand ring finger. I wonder if they are already legally married and are going to do a ceremony for the show?

To each their own on the glasses. I have a big, black-framed nerdy looking pair I chose from the mens section (I hate that such a division still exists). The staff said “they’re a little too big for your face” and tried to talk me into a smaller frame. Well, that happened to me once before and I wound up hating the glasses. I was going for a certain look, and I held my ground on this time.

I pick my glasses the way I want them, so I guess I probably don't follow the rules either.  I try on men's, women's and children's to see which I like better.  I have a tiny head.

Big head, here.  I do prefer large, under-eye-bag hiding, types of frames.  I have a squarish face so round glasses look better on me.  No dark or flashy colors for me.

I am wondering if Mariah and Audrey have had some type of wedding, and just not announced it.  I can't see them passing up getting that TLC cash like Logan and Michelle are doing.  Mariah is too much like Meri in that respect, IMO.

I have wondered about this too. Pure speculation here but I really suspect Kody could have managed a wedding between two women who looked traditional (the white gown type of bride) and behaved traditional, modest and conservative in thoughts and ideas. Don’t forget we’re dealing with a religious fundamentalist moron mormon here.


Audrey and Mariah are anything but that and are free spirited souls. We know neither cares for looks and might end up in coveralls on their day. Mariah has found her own path in life which has nothing in common with Kody’s.
On top, Kody now has a daughter in law who identifies as non-binary and seems to be slowly developing men’s features. I can see that brain go haywire and short circuit. (Oh wait, that might explain the funny hair!) Kody, and Robyn for that matter, isn’t the most accepting and liberal soul on this planet. It would not surprise me if he has drawn a line here of not wanting this on his show, no matter how much money they offer. As I said, I’m guessing how I think Kody feels. This doesn’t reflect my personal thoughts on such matters.

Janelle and Christine seem more liberal and Meri…no idea. I do think she tries to be accepting and form some connection with them. Meri has only one child after all and lost most of her family and husband too.

It's  good to have Avocado or guacamole once a month or so for a natural detox. It's also a great  healthy protein. My problem is, I have trouble restraining myself to 1/2 an Avocado at one sitting.

Kody has always been positive and supportive of Mariah and Audrey.  He's even defended the right of his children to practice the faith they chose, though it's different from his. I would expect that to continue.  

Like a trained seal, Kody will bark out the responses he thinks are appropriate as he did when Mariah came out.  He didn't pull it off when he used the "protecting the rest of the family" excuse for not being supportive of Ysabel through her surgery.

I can't help but wonder how welcoming he (and Robyn) would be to a visit from Mariah and Audge at the present time, given the transformation Audrey is experiencing.
