At some Hooters locations, for example, servers could be sent home for breaking the strict uniform rules.

At Disney parks, even customers are subject to dress codes that offer two options: cover up or head home.

But one person was left confused and embarrassed by a vague “morality clause” suddenly implemented in their workplace.

Chicago-based drag artist Boy Toothless (@boytoothless), who uses they/them pronouns, recounted the upsetting experience on Twitter.

The artist chose a basic but polished and cohesive outfit when they were getting ready to report to their day job.

They wore a neutral, striped tank top, tucked into belted jeans, and a coordinating cardigan.

The simple outfit didn’t seem like a particularly controversial choice for work.

But according to the employee, supervisors at their unnamed workplace had a different opinion.

“Got dress coded at work due to a ‘modesty clause,'” they wrote in the caption of their Twitter post.

They included a grinning mirror selfie that showed the outfit.

“I was either told to change or go home,” they wrote in a follow-up tweet.

The nonbinary artist added the unexpected rule enforcement from their employer exacerbated their sense of body dysphoria.

It wasn’t immediately clear from the user’s tweet what part of their workplace’s “modesty clause” was violated.

But in their follow-up tweet, the employee indicated that it might be due to how much of their chest skin was showing.

The employee didn’t specify which course of action they chose – changing clothes or ending their shift early.

Luckily, there were no subsequent tweets in the thread about additional surprise appearances of the morality clause.
