Who do you side with here (read more)

I saw this on another site and thought it was an interesting case:

https://windsor.ctvnews.ca/human-rights-application-launched-against-windsor-body-waxing-business-by-transgender-woman-1.3925911

A trans woman was refused a wax at a spa because the Muslim employee is forbidden to touch men who are not her husband (and thus she would only wax women, but here you have a trans woman who identifies as a woman, but has male genitalia).

From the business:

“All clients regardless of sex, gender, gender identity or sexual orientation are welcome,” said Carruthers. “However, we also welcome staff members and respect their religious beliefs and feelings of safety and dignity in regards to the right not to perform waxing services on males or male genitals.”

Is this like the “wedding cake” issue? Whose rights win out?
