And then I was a kid and got into anime, the sort of stuff that got me into it (Pokemon, Digimon) was considered to be mostly for boys, particularly in the town I lived in. I had to hang out with my brother's friends to talk to any of them about that sort of thing. So, I started acting like a tomboy to "fit in" and be accepted by them. I've only recently broken that habit, which is what I'm referring to.

No. I'm not. I'm fully aware that she identifies as feminine. My point is that she shouldn't have to try hard at expressing gender and just be who she is already. It's stupid to feel like you're not girly enough to express the fact that you're a girl, as if a) anyone cares, b) it's actually necessary to make your point (it isn't).
I liked boy stuff when I was a kid and I acted like a boy, but it wasn't because I felt pressured to in order to fit in, it was because I was comfortable with that. I could've just as easily tried hard to be girlish in order to fit in with my female peer group, but they never did anything that I considered interesting so I didn't really want to have anything to do with most of them. I mean, I could have intentionally played up my given gender roles to "make a point," about how they were judging me based on gender expression, but even back then I knew that would be a stupid idea.
Even before I started school my mom told me that I was never really into girly things, hated to wear dresses, etc. I mean, all of that changed a lot when I went through puberty and ended up in high school, but it wasn't like I consciously changed my gender expression to fit in with anyone else (I couldn't fit in with any given social group even if I tried). I didn't even have to "act like a girl" to attract boys.
My point is, you should be comfortable with who you are, and if you feel like you need to change something about yourself to "make a point" you're only lying to everyone else and yourself.
