Rhetorical Style
The rhetorical style is ironic and slightly condescending, aiming to steer the debate toward a more rational track while avoiding it becoming "absurd." Sarcasm and humor are employed (referencing transgender admirals) to underscore the irrelevance of the opposing side's arguments.

Opposition Stance
The criticism is directed at the quality of the debate and the inexpedient expansion of topics. The opposition is aimed at those who introduce irrelevant social issues (e.g., transgender admirals) into the discussion of the bill, issues which are not related to the substance of the draft law.

Social Issues
The issue of sex/gender is touched upon among social topics, emphasizing that in Estonia, considerations are limited strictly to the two sexes that exist in a legal sense. This topic was raised with the aim of rejecting attempts to introduce discussions related to transgenderism, as these are not part of the draft bill under consideration.

Legislative Focus
The primary legislative focus is currently on opposing the draft amendment to the Securities Market Act (588 SE), which we deem unreasonable. We are concentrating on clarifying the bill's context and the relevant legal definitions to ensure the debate does not stray off topic.
