    Hey so I want to make this quick.
    From age 4 till about 13 I kind of viewed myself as both a boy and a girl leaning more on feminine things because that's kind of what people expected of me. I considered myself a tomboy because that was the closest I could get to how I felt at the time. I came across the term demigirl last year and that just struck a huge chord with me I felt that that was it. But now I'm wondering since I have definitely changed since I was 13 I feel comfortable using she /her pronouns using the ladies restroom and calling myself a woman and having others think of me as such I would consider myself cis and I don't think I'll change or want to change. I don't really conform to gender norms as far as my clothes go nowadays but I don't know if I should feel obligated to tell people that I felt this way or just live in the now. Any advice?

    If it's no longer a matter of identity for you and you're no longer experiencing any dsyphoria, I think it's fine that you just live as a cisgender woman - regardless of what kind of clothes you wear. Lots of people defy gender norms without putting a label on it! I'd say just live in a way that makes you most comfortable and don't worry about having to explain it to others.
