hi Tasia! I think it was touched upon earlier, but there are indeed some roman groups that accept women as legionaries - you just have to ask around. I was lucky enough to find a legion that did (now it's just a matter of acquiring gear and transport!). Wearing a lorica segmentata and helmet, binding your hair (if its long), and with a tunic that will cover a majority of the thigh area, I think being a woman will not readily be apparent.
And I like your SCA standard - horses rock!
If you go for a cavalry impression with scale armor and a face-maskhelmet, no one will ever know you're a woman when you're showing movements on horseback.
