It seems the icon itself relates to the difficult of accurately conveying information through small symbols. Do I think this company should have chose a better icon? Yes, but the core shapes and colors are designed to reduce doubt as much as possible. Search "gender symbol" for the closest "non-sexist" alternative, but even that would cause confusion amongst some. Just as a fork and knife is a standard symbol on maps for a reastraunt, (even ones where you use your hands or chopsticks), the symbols become their meaning, not their appearence (see Egyptian hieroglyphs). One has become a symbol for male, the other for female, and their differences need to be significant enough to distinguish between them. It really depends on the intent of whoever chose the icon. -from mobile, so apologies for any errors
