Mazy's gender bio

I was raised in a not so traditional household, which really developed my character and personality. My parents divorced when I was two years old and both began dating my stepparents by the time I was three years old, so for as long as I can remember I have had four parents. I never felt as if I missed out on anything because my step parents never treated me as if I was their “stepchild”. When I was younger I used to go to each separate house every other day, so I was unique in that I always saw all four of my parents on a regular basis. As I entered high school I weed every other week at each household. My two separate households had two very different ideas on how to raise a child: one was more old-fashioned and the other wasn’t. However when it came to the activities that I participated it was mostly my decision and my parents were always very supportive. I’m from Hawaii and have dance Hula since I was four years old. Hula is a very traditional and feminine thing, but more than influencing my femininity it affected my deep love of Hawaiian tradition and language. Aside from hula I also played soccer since I was four too. Soccer was my energy outlet and something that I loved to do. I did play many other sports growing up, but soccer and hula were the two that I continued to do for the longest time.
I went through fazes of “girly” and “tomboyish” when I was younger. Up until the third grade, I wore a frilly dress to school every day and loved to get dressed in the morning because my mom let me dress myself. Then I went into a “tomboyish” faze where I only wore t-shirts and soccer shorts to school every day up until the seventh grade. After that I seemed to find a nice middle ground between the two. My parents were very open with me and allowed me to dress and act any way I wanted as long as I was tasteful and respectful. I feel like the freedom they gave me really allowed me to find my true level of femininity, which I have found to be a quite high level of femininity with a feminist strength in me.
I was always taught to stand up for myself. All of my parents pushed me to be strong willed and minded and to never be taken advantage of or stepped on. Their teaching has helped me to be a feminist in the sense that I want to provide for myself and I greatly value my independence. They always pushed me to do the best I could and sent me to the best schools so that I could reach my full potential; never once would they ever allow myself to play second to men, for that strength I am forever grateful. They taught me to be strong, but also taught me to be feminine and to “act like a lady.” My mom and I would go on annual mother daughter vacations where we would just shop and eat for days; I love to go shopping and I definitely appreciate the feminine qualities of a woman.
Its hard to label yourself but I would call myself a “girly-girl” or a “tomboy” I would say that I’ve found a mix of the two that is just perfect for me and I owe it to my parents unique situation and unyielding support in all of my endeavors.
