Dilemmaz! I HAZ THEM!!!

So, I have a dilemma that needs resolving. My sisters graduation is at the end of May, right? And I want to go, right? Should be simple, right?
Wrong.
I've been slowly shifting over to being mostly full-time, and by the date of her graduation, I'd planned on actually BEING full time. I'm out at work, and due to the lovely effects that HRT have been having on me, am having trouble passing as a guy recently. Once school ends, I'm stopping being a guy, except for my old ID, which I'm going to be changing soon.
Therein lies my dilemma...
My sisters graduation and the following party have a strict 'no-allie' rule. My parents have laid down the law regarding dress and deportment: they want a boy to step out of my car. They want this day to be my sisters day, and even though I agree with them, I'm going to be out to 9 out of 10 people there. So, it's not like it's going to be a huge suprise that I'm transexual. I've gotten nothing but support from my extended family, and am looking forward to being myself among my family. I've been considering several options about how to deal with the parental demands...
1) Suck it up, go in boi mode, bind, and run like a scared rabbit afterwards...
2) go in boi mode, but with something feminine about me, like having my nails done.
3) go as a drag king
4) not go, and use the time to go to trans health.
I really don't like any of them...
I ask you, oh intarwebz...what would you do? Leave opinions as comments.
