Actually based on my reading of it, that's a bit reversed.

who meets you. This is the opposite of Social Stigma (p. 155); membership in a given social group cannot result in both Social Regard and Social Stigma.

You are treated well because of what you are, not because of who you are. Think of it as “privilege by association.”
Means it's no harder to Disguise than Social Stigma (would you add extra penalties to a Victorian woman disguising herself as a man?) and should be almost as easy as removing your uniform.

Sure, you can still kinda tell a military person is military out of uniform, but it's not a hard thing to disguise if they wanted to.
