Is it legal in that state to change one's name? If yes - then fuck them.

And marriage? A woman taking a MAN'S name?? That makes them trans.!!!! ......O_o......? witches! witches! burn them with the books!

My only guess is that some time in the past, someone did something to damage their reputation, changed their name, then got elected. A lot of weird laws come from one off cases like that. Obviously the law either needs to be updated to be more inclusive or done away with entirely.
