I've never heard of a female being offended by being called a female until today so why do you think you represent ALL females (demographic)? I'll understand if it's a cultural thing and if that's an issue overseas but I've been around longer than you and it's never been addressed as insulting.
I've heard it lots. There's been articles online for years, and there's women talking about it on social media. Actually, the oldest reference I found was from the year 18hundred and something.
Lots of people react to any suggestion about racism, sexism, ableism, etc. with "It always used to be ok!", or the accusations of demonisation. Ruse regularly bemoans the loss of his right to sexually harass in the workplace.
No, nobody speaks for everyone. Sometimes people have internalised discrimination, sometimes it's so much a normalised part of the culture they live in that it's never occurred to them that the language could be problematic, and sometimes people just don't care. But if a significant number of people from a group say that the language is problematic, the reasonable response is to at minimum give it respectful consideration.
