Ok, let's get this started! I'm trying to raise awareness of issues that only affect female bodies. I'll bring links to more info on each issue. I will start from what are considered big issues that barely anyone seems to care at all. Let's do it!
Sex-selective abortions: girls are being aborted in huge numbers throughout the world:

feministcurrent.com/2018/12/13/sex…
In India, an area covering 132 villages has seen no girls being born in the last three months:

independent.co.uk/news/world/asi…
China's one child policy led the country to several damaging outcomes, like sex-selective abortions of female fetuses and infanticide of girls. This policy has been terminated but the country is struggling to raise the numbers of births: theguardian.com/world/2019/mar…
UK's policies put in place to avoid sex-selective abortions after parents find out they were having a girl:

independent.co.uk/news/health/se…
More on sex-selective abortions throughout the world:

newscientist.com/article/219987…
In some places, when and if a female baby is born, they could still be killed (sex-selective infanticide/female infanticide):

Female infanticide in China:

Girls who grow up past 3 years could suffer, in many places (including the UK) Female Genital Mutilation (FGM):

After that, as young as 8, girls could be sold as brides. This harmful practice happens all over the world and even in many developed countries like the USA:

More on child marriage:

As soon as puberty hits and girls have their menarche, girls might be expelled from their homes during their periods or being kept in period huts:

theguardian.com/global-develop…
Teen pregnancy is another huge global issue not properly addressed:

who.int/news-room/fact…
Females who survive to adulthood safe from these practices can come across Period Stigma:

theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
Period stigma can also affect females in all classes and in different ways:

bbc.com/news/world-us-…
Periods are an issue to many female children or teens, who are missing school for not affording menstrual pads:

independent.co.uk/news/internati…
Breast ironing/flattening, girls have their breasts flattened with heated rocks to look like boys for longer and avoid rape:

globalcitizen.org/en/content/bre…
Females should decide if they want children and when. No contraceptive is 100% effective and sexual abuse is rampant, resulting in unplanned pregnancies. Few countries have proper abortions rights. New Zealand is a developed country still debating it: bbc.com/news/world-asi…
Ireland, another developed country, has approved abortions rights in 2019. Most countries with economical struggles do not allow abortions:

El Salvador case: country with one of the worst abortion laws in the world:

"Prostitution “one of the cruelest aspects of the feminization of poverty and one of the worst forms of violence against women."
"Women, especially from Black and brown communities, have been historically subjected to state-enforced sterilization because the white legal and/or medical establishments deem them “feeble minded” or unfit."
Women were being lured by modelling agencies for porn

Do you think that there was a turning point in the mess we are in? What would it be for you? Or chronologically? Was it Maya Forstater's winning her appeal? Legally, where do you think the tide turned, if you think it did?
While we decide, here's a few highlights. Maya Forstater wins her appeal. That meant that gender critical views are "worthy of respect in a democratic society."

Today, I'd like to send a shoutout to all child sexual abuse survivors enduring ppl posting "if a 'person' has a penis out, teach your kids to stop staring" and the videos with 'antifa' beating up women who were asserting their boundaries around male genitalia. I know it's hard.
These people are either abuser/groomers or enablers. Because you can't be that naive, can't you? They might be survivors themselves who were groomed and do not know better, of course. Either way, they have to know what their attitude has done to us, survivors. They are making
The world a more unsafe place to females of all ages. The images we saw and the threats we heard recently triggered us to the point of being unwell physically. Where is your kindness to sexual abuse survivors, especially us who were abused as children? You are abusing us again.

The time for debate has arrived. Thanks so much, @MForstater. So, get ready for battle: the female/male anatomy exist. Humans can't change their birth sex. Females (girls and women) are oppressed because men exploit their reproductive labour. Focus on females issues. We matter.
You can tell sex denialists now that they are wrong. So, speak up! Stand your ground and speak the truth. We got this. Protect youth from harmful ideas like "being born in the wrong body." Nobody is born in the wrong body. Gender identity has no bearing on material reality.
We need to end female oppression. We have a lot of work to do. No more male ruling over women's bodies. We object to dehumanizing language. Women are not a bunch of parts that can be assembled in a male's body. We are women when adults, girls when children. We are not Lego! x
