Its not a real choice. It is meant to reduce the number of people of certain religious affiliations from public workplaces aka ban them.

Consider if the "choice" given women was between presenting male and giving up their jobs. Or not to be considered for a job. It would in effect ban women because they would either have to give up their gender identity at least for the duration of the work or not work there.

Likewise here it would be allowed to make the denunciation of ones religious convictions a job requirement. It's atrocious.
