Full title: "Mercury Stardust Book: The Biography Of Mercury Stardust - American Tik Toker, Transgender Activist Burlesque Performer, Home Repair And Maintenance Educator" by Stephen Walter.
"Mercury Stardust, also known as Help is at hand from the Trans Handy Ma'am! For too many people, the simple act of contacting a plumber or repair person can feel like a game of chance. As a transwoman and a professional maintenance technician, Mercury Stardust has discovered (the hard way) that we live in a world with much to fear. If you've ever felt panicked about opening your home to strangers in order to fix a maintenance issue, this book is for you."
"Mercury Stardust is a Professional Home Maintenance Technician, author, performer, and award-winning activist. Known widely as the Trans Handy Ma'am, her unique brand of compassionate education in the Home Repair space has earned her internet fame. With over 2 million followers on TikTok, Mercury spreads DIY knowledge with love. Her expertise includes rental maintenance, landlord negotiations, clogs, drywall, painting, minor electrical repairs, caulking, and more."
"She also shares her life story as a trans woman to highlight the importance of representation of queer people in our lives, media, and communities. She shares her history of growing up in a rural Wisconsin farming town, being forced into pretending to be a “man”, learning to embrace her femininity in burlesque, and coming out on stage during her weekly show four years ago.
Her story inspires, teaches, and connects with others while also advocating for change for the LGBTQIA+ community. Her hope is to inspire a new generation of queer youth to live their truth boldly, for allies to protect the most vulnerable in the community, and to teach others lifelong skills for their homes in order to be able to provide themselves with a safe sanctuary in a tumultuous world."
