Should someone be refused service based on their gender identity?
Absolutely not.

Is that the case here? Well that's a little more difficult to say.
The issue here isn't gender identity, it's the fact that this person still has biologically male genitals.

Presumably, the waxer is in the business of waxing female genitals.
This person wants male genitals waxed, which is not something this person does in the regular course of business, so I would say this doesn't qualify as a case of discrimination (gender based or otherwise).

Now if this person/company regularly did wax men's genitals, or if they were refusing to wax this woman's armpits or eyebrows, then sure, I would say that meets the criteria for discrimination, but since that's not the case, I would say the person not doing the waxing is in the right here.
Beat me to it.
