The VFD Disguise Kit comes equipped with a top hat - something we know Mr. Poe is fond of, and it is implied in the rare edition of "The Bad Beginning" that Poe is hiding something big. Is it too far to assume he is hiding his sex? A top hat used to hide the bun atop his head, and his constant cough and flu-like symptoms a result of him constantly trying to muffle his (her?) voice. In The Nameless Novel there are images of a woman with a top hat and moustache at her feet, drilling a hole.
This theory also implies that Poe is in cahoot with Olaf, as well as Vice Principle Nero in The Austere Academy, because of a passage which saw Sunny Baudelaire observing large, bulky bags with Poe's company name "Mulctuary Money Management" plastered across them.
