Known as the Trans Handy Ma’am, Mercury Stardust is a popular DIY and home repair TikToker combining their expertise in home maintenance with her dedication to trans activism. She embraces DIY because it allows everyone to take control of their own lives. Mercury takes the time to share clear, playful instructions on her social media to spread the message that anyone can start making their house their home. Mercury also uses her platform to advocate for her community. As a proud trans-femme person, she hopes to inspire young LGBTQIA+ makers to “live their truth boldly” and to educate allies on how to support their LGBTQIA+ family, friends, and neighbors, especially in rural communities like the one they grew up in. As she likes to say, “You’re worth the time it takes to learn a new skill.”
Pronouns: She, her, hers & they, them, theirs.
