However, having to shun somebody is a restriction of the freedom of action of a playing character belonging to the relevant group.
Except they don't really have to. Not unless they have some kind of disadvantage that forces them to conform. I would guess Honesty or something even more severe like a 15 point vow to be the perfect elf. Not conforming to society's strictures will of course lead to severe consequences if it becomes known so it may cause a Secret or a Bad Reputation but simply choosing to take the path of least resistance is not a Disadvantage.
