EDIT:
A simple solution would be to steal the concept of Werewolf's monkey puzzle as a Servitor Attunement

Something like:
Monkey Mask
Regardless of your vessels actual species you can trick humans into perceiving you as a Human of an appropriate manner of dress and appearence. [Some game mechanics involving Perception here, I think].
Hmmm ... I could see that being justified yes, since it's a matter of "camouflage to blend into a dangerous background" rather than "Giving in to the humans and their silly rules." I like that .... though the image of my player's angel walking nude through the back alleys of Boulder is rather amusing.
