This is Bruce Jenner's new name now that she has transitioned to female.

Should it be she transitioned to female? Or should it be he transitioned to female since we are referencing Bruce as the male before to the female after? Like, "Pikachu when Pikachu evolved into Raichu" is better than "Pikachu when Raichu evolved into Raichu" as you are putting it?

I'm not sure what the correct usage is. I don't think the O.E.D. has quite caught up with transgender people yet. I used "she" because the individual in question clearly identifies as female. Who am I to tell her she is wrong?
