Thor is the Aesir the Hammer was made for. But then his power was placed into it by Dad and then he had to regain it. So there's Thor and the Power of Thor in the Hammer.
"And into this Hammer he poured his cruelty, his malice and his will to dominate all life." - Abe Lincoln
Think of it like this: Thor is not becoming a woman. A woman is becoming Thor.
This isn't the first time someone else has taken up the hammer and become "Thor" for a time (usually after Thor screws up somehow, and has to redeem himself.)
So Thor is both a name AND a title that many have held: the alien Beta Ray Bill most notable among them. And the "original Thor" is still around, but right now he's just Donald Blake.
