 Sequential Tart: Atsukamashii Onna - Magical Girls and Superheroines: Cinderella vs. Super Soldier (vol VI/iss 3/March ...
In magical girl stories, however, the anygirl/star metamorphosis, far from being an onerous plot point to be grudgingly gotten through, half-ridiculed, or otherwise undermined, can become a key element of the fantasy, for reasons having little to do with plot logic or the practical necessity of maintaining a secret identity.
In fact, for pseudo-superheroic magical girls, their so-called secret identities tend to be literally hidden in plain sight.
However, if the character in question is a magical girl not yet out of junior high, there is something to be said for the idea that she should stick to fighting those supernatural antagonists that only she can defeat and leave more ordinary crimes and disasters to the appropriate authorities.

 Kerey Luis - Agency and Female Gender Roles in Shoujo Anime
Although magical girls appear to have a great deal of agency, in that they are typically saving the world from destruction at least once a week, this agency is constrained in many ways.
Magical girls also often die, which can be seen as a complete renunciation of agency-- after all, there's really nothing much more passive than being dead.
Others of them show very strong levels of agency, such as the girl who has her own superhero mecha team, or the young athlete who must be persuaded to sit for the artist.
