People who think the state should decide what women do with their womb.

Anyone who uses the phrase "loony left" to refer to centre-left milquetoast Nu-Labourites. In other words, pretty much the entire British newspaper industry.

Personal Pet Peeve #123: People who use terms like "Cisgender" and a lot of things related to the more radical "queer" elements of LGBT, emphasis on the T part. I've noticed this one popping up a lot, along with other bizarre and unnecessary sexual labels like "demisexual," etc. I already had problems with the whole LGBT label and gay rights movement but this stuff is just well, it surpasses self parody. I almost wonder if they're just trolling us. Case in point:


As someone who's transgendered, the use of "cisgender" even manages to annoy me. It smacks of being a euphemism.

Seriously, it should be realized the 90-98% of people who have normal heterosexual attractions needn't be subject to the bizarre terminology of the no more than 30% of the non-heterosexuals. I thought the whole point was to end the need for such divisive labels, not to create an endless stream of them.

"normal heterosexual attractions" is a pretty loaded phrase...

Oh yeah, another pet peeve - people who think David Cameron is a moderate.
