fun story but totally untrue.
what the guide actually points out is that people refer to bricks as
male and female, an example of how language reinforces the normality of
hetereosexuality (which i agree is the norm)
it doesnt criticise lego in any way but why spoil a fun story with facts?

 
She's literally reacting to a headline from The Telegraph.
 
Science Museum in 'bonkers' LGBT Lego warning
Institution's Seeing Things Queerly tour claims people think the toy
bricks are 'gendered' and reinforces idea 'heterosexuality is the norm'

It literally is the norm. The norm is the position or status of 51% or more of
the population on any given issue.

Heterosexuality is undeniably the norm in the human species (or any species
that reproduces sexually, for that matter). No amount of virtue-signaling or
rainbow flags will change that.
