Taylor Mac uses "judy/judy's" as a pronoun. It has been said that this was in reference to Judy Garland,<ref name="Needham">{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2017/sep/13/taylor-mac-on-queering-history-someone-like-me-doesnt-normally-get-to-represent-america|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190413232603/https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2017/sep/13/taylor-mac-on-queering-history-someone-like-me-doesnt-normally-get-to-represent-america|archive-date=13 April 2019|date=12 September 2017|title=Taylor Mac on queering history: 'Someone like me doesn't normally get to represent America'|last=Needham|first=Alex}}</ref> but judy has clarified that it actually references the time in gay history when "the gays would call their boyfriend 'Mary' or 'Judy' so that if they were talking in public about them people would think it was a girl".<ref name="Ruiz" /> | |||
Judy was born in Laguna Beach, California and raised in Stockton, the child of Joy Aldrich and Vietnam War veteran Lt. Robert Mac Bowyer. Mac's mother opened a private art school that influenced judy's early aesthetic by embracing collage and teaching students to build from mistakes rather than attempt to erase them. Mac moved to New York in 1994 to study at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. After graduation, judy began working as an actor and wrote the plays ''The Hot Month'' (1999), ''The Levee'' (2000), and ''The Face of Liberalism'' (2003). | Judy was born in Laguna Beach, California and raised in Stockton, the child of Joy Aldrich and Vietnam War veteran Lt.
