(unless she was Sif to begin with, in which case she will now be Thor *and* Sif. But regardless of whether or not she was Sif before, she's not BECOMING Sif by becoming Thor.)
At any rate, this makes more sense than just deciding Thor should be female. At least there's some rationale behind it within the rules of that universe
.... did you miss that *in the source material* Asgardians sometimes turn into women, or horses? The bit about Loki being a woman, then a female horse, then giving birth, isn't Marvel. It's Norse. The grandchild in question is Sleipnir, Odin's horse.
"A woman is now Thor because the worthy person who holds the hammer is Thor, and a worthy woman picked it up" makes MORE sense than most of the Eddas.
