In this context, Mary Sue isn't sexist, because it came from a Star Trek fanfiction where the main characters name... was Mary Sue.
How is that sexist exactly? Do we need to change the name to male to fight the patriarchy? It came from a specific place and a specific character.
It's like saying "Saying 'My Immortal is terrible' is sexist!" because the main character is a girl. No, it's really just because it is infamous and terrible.
Context matters!
