Literally none of the things you listed here count as modifying your body? As a reply to "nobody should have to arbitrarily change their body for their employer," "sometimes there are practical clothing and equipment requirements" is practically a non-sequitur.
Which is cool, except the subject of this entire thread has nothing to do with modifying body parts so it's also fair for the responder to be referring to attire rather than actual body modification.
So, would you let your boss shave your head because that was the 'dress code'?
That is exactly what happens when one enlists in the U.S. military. Dress codes are a thing, and legitimate.
If that was the dress code when I signed up to the job then absolutely, that's what I signed up for. If they changed the dress code however then I will challenge that.
