People wearing clothes at all makes some people uncomfortable. Women not covering their hair is as bad to some people as "walking with your dick out". People (of religions I don't believe) being forced to remove attire makes me feel VERY uncomfortable and tyrranized. I've always been part of the movement to push back against dress codes and uniforms in workplaces because authorities having power of "style" is unacceptable to me.

Why do only a small number of people get a say on what everyone must do, and everyone else who feels uncomfortable or oppressed "needs to suck it up"?

If your goal is to make the fewest people uncomfortable, you let them wear their religious attire. If your goal is to make the most people uncomfortable... dicks out. If your goal is to discriminate against classes of people you don't like, you shouldn't be the one making decisions.
