Say I gave my all and 1000% more, and I made it to the well reputed Parachute Regiment, as a Female do I stand the equal opportunity to push myself further into special forces?

Yes, all job roles are open to both men and women. There are some news articles on this:

Hi and thanks for your question.
All job roles are currently open to Male and females including special forces roles.
There are currently females training at the Infantry Training Centre in Catterick.
It will not be long before there are females in frontline infantry combat roles.
If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate in asking.
