How about women if you're orthodox Jew?

For those who aren't aware, some very orthodox Jews refrain from any physical contact with women outside their families (even incidental contact) in order to comply with prohibitions on touching women while they are Niddah (a period of ritual uncleanliness around menstruation).

Here in the U.S., the burden falls on the orthodox Jew to arrange their own life so that they can observe that stricture. This places some pretty severe limitations on how much very orthodox Jews are able to participate in the economy. They want to isolate against incidental contact with women - but they don't have the legal right to discriminate against women in workplaces. So there are simply a very large number of jobs they cannot take (you're not going to be able to be an urgent care nurse, for example) and firms they cannot work for, because they cannot request (and their employer cannot grant) the types of accommodates that would insulate them from potential physical contact with a woman outside their family. They don't get to force women to bear the consequences of their beliefs.

I still have no idea what LurkerMom would want to say to (or do to?) a trans person that wouldn't be allowed, given LM's claim that they wouldn't go out of their way to be inconsiderate. But if there is something, it would probably fall under an analogous rubric - if you have an internal belief that just requires you to discriminate against another group, it's probably on you to arrange your life to avoid situations where you would have that discriminatory interaction with that other group. You probably don't get to say that they should suffer the negative impacts. But again, I don't really know what LM is really referring to, here.
