g-string? yes. stilts? yes. Scuba gear? yes. Mexican mask? yes. Discriminate? No.

Now, there's the kicker. Those first four things, not many people would wear into the store and therefore the business would end up not making any money. However, with the fear porn of COVID people have wholesale bought into mask wearing, so businesses have no fear of forcing mask wearing. As long as people shop there in large numbers, they can require you to wear whatever they want.

At the same time, depending on location, some businesses may fear not requiring masks because the SJW brigade will go after them and affect their business. As a result, they conform in order to keep their business open. Add in government mandates and/or recommendations and you have the current environment.

Let's say there's a business that requires all male customers to wear lipstick, dresses and women's underwear. Let's say all the businesses in your city or state require that all men wear drag in order to enter the premises. I mean sure, you can say just go patronize another business, let the free market decide etc. But if everyone is implementing the exact same regulations and it somehow hampers your ability to survive, harms your health in any way or is otherwise dehumanizing, then what do you do then? Where do you go? Not everyone can just pick up and move and start a new life elsewhere. Clearly there must be some kind of limitation on what business owners can demand.
