Nothing to do with loyalty. I just legitimately don't see how one gets from that name change to deciding there must have been a sex change. Knowing that the conclusion was correct doesn't help with that, but it's still good to know, so thanks!
Few, if any, men go by the name Beth.

I'm afraid I don't understand the point of your comment.
A sex change is hardly the only explanation, but it's a very likely one. Be honest. Let's say my name is John Leslie Roberts and for my entire life up until 2010 I was referred to as John, then I told you to start calling me Leslie from now on. I seriously doubt you would just shrug that off.
If you're wondering how others drew the correct conclusion without additional information, this is how. It's extremely common for those who have had male to female sex change to choose a female root name buried within their current name or names. It's extremely uncommon to do that for any other reason. People associate names, gender and personal identity very closely.

You wouldn't go from a predominantly male first name to a typically female middle name as your preferred moniker without experiencing some sort of change.

So you're going to deny someone how they live based on what a wiki dictionary ion on the internet says? Dictionaries change all the time. I see you wikitionary and raise you wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender
"The sex of most mammals, including humans, is genetically determined by the XY sex-determination system where males have X and Y (as opposed to X and X) sex chromosomes."
I think the correct term for the author's sex is "Trans woman": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans_woman
I cannot express how much I admire this post. This is how I think women should address gender equality: not by antagonizing men, but through sound and assertive work like this.

Biologically biased doesn't mean it can be changed; for example we are biologically biased to be polygamous just like most mammals; but we are socially configured to be monogamous so most of us are.
So how do you know that the majority of people who voted this article up aren't already there? I have to be honest, your post strikes me as karma fishing.

Sure there is, a quick look shows: Scientists See Promise in Deep-Learning Programs Machine Learning: Neural Network vs Support Vector Machine Suite of 300 icons for web and user interface design But you are right that there is a lot of link-baitiness on HN. Doesn't mean we can't wish for better.
Who would have thought this title was link bait?
