We have at least 3 very strong Federal laws that would be leveled at such a thing here:

1. Clothing choice is considered personal expression here, so there are some protections under our First Amendment (which our Supreme Court has in recent decades defended vigorously and defined broadly).

2. The Civil Rights Act, which forbids gender discrimination, has been interpreted broadly for women's rights most of the time. (Less so for reproductive health, but feet aren't uteruses.)

3. And even if somehow the above failed, ur Americans with Disabilities Act and other medical privacy laws would make it very easy to demand a health exemption.
