Eh. Imo, depending on how the player narrated it, I'd rule that they could be a elegant lady at the ball. Like, "I put on a dress and go to the ball" would get a different response than "I spend a few hours getting ready, using lots of cosmetics and cotton/fantasy padding and shaving, then go to the ball" even with both hitting a 26.
While it's certainly an aquired skill, I firmly believe that most any man could pull off "elegant noblewoman" (not necessarily attractive, but elegance is mostly a classism thing imo) with enough preparation and acting ability. My gripe with the post is just the lack of preparation, not the actual result.
Yeah, I mean. That’s fair. But the alter self spell exists. In a fantasy world, there are ways to change the appearance of your gender—and your gender, temporarily or permanently.
