:\ I have no idea where they get the thing about the "crescent moon" and cross. It doesn't described the symbol, visually, to me, and it has nothing to do with the deity it's related to. Most reliable sources I've found describe the symbol as symbolizing either Mercury himself (in his winged hat), his caduceus staff, or some combination thereof. For me, it's too big a change from the symbol of one of the deities that symbolized male sexuality, to a symbol for transgender people. Mind, this is just my opinion.
