“Being queer & trans are definitely some of my favorite parts of myself. And yet, there are so many things that I am learning to love about myself through this process,” they wrote on Instagram at the time. “Here’s to me getting to know myself, share myself, and continually evolve to be the person I am, to be my favorite self in all contexts.”
Showing her supportfor Leon, Meri shared her child’s post on her Instagram Story and wrote: “You are my sunshine.”
Meri later celebrated Leon in March in honor ofInternational Transgender Day of Visibility. “I see you! I love you! I got you!” she wrote on her Instagram Story alongside a photo of Leon and their partner Audrey Kriss, adding the message, “Protect trans kids.”
Earlier this month, Leon shared onInstagramthat they were “feeling gay, trans, grateful, HOME” amidthe rise in proposed anti-trans billsemerging across the U.S.
“Reminder that trans people cannot be legislated out of existence. We will keep being born, keep living, keep thriving, & finding our joy,” they continued. “Like today, I spent some quality time outside, doing absolutely nothing & feeling grateful to exist as I am. And then I came home & watched fried green tomatoes because it was my favorite as a child, and cried when I remembered why.”
“I remember being a little trans kid & watching idgie threadgoode squirm walking down the stairs in a dress & then beam when wearing a little yellow suit. It’s little things like this that remind me we have always been here & we will always be here,” they continued. “Being trans is a gift, one I love very much.”
In response to the post, Meri wrote: “And you are my gift, one I love very much.”
