I think workout clothes depends on what it is. Wearing a sports bra is surely different from wearing a T-shirt. Before we assume malicious intent by twitch it should be worth specifying what streamer was wearing.

Nudity is one thing, but nobody should be enforcing dress codes which are only applied to women.

Exactly.
Here is a summary of the situation: https://www.dexerto.com/entertainment/overwatch-streamer-hit...
I don't think Fareeha was out of line. I've watched people stream Overwatch from their pool, and Twitch didn't mind at all even though the (male) streamer was completely topless.
It's very arbitrary and unfair.

My point being, to say "random twitch streamer was booted for clothing" without any context is much different from "a female wearing a revealing outfit was streaming". I'm merely asking for context before we get pitch forks out.

What's wrong with a sports bra? If a woman can go outside and run in public while wearing one, why can't she wear one on a Twitch stream?

For the same reason you cannot eat in a restaurant without specific dress, businesses get to decide on their own rules.
