> The random segment about transgenders felt really out of place

It's really something that we actively discuss in these parts of the world (Eastern Europe), it's a "civilisational" topic that most of us (the majority, I would say) actively care about. Yes, many of us (the majority, I would say) are not ok with "parent 1/parent 2" instead of "mother" and "father", we are also not ok with kids as young as 7 or 8 years of age being taught about gender change, we are not ok with kids younger than 18 being allowed to take irreversible hormonal meds in order to transition.

And seeing as this is also a "civilisational" war I don't see how that statement was out of place, quite the contrary.
