Rejecting a trial judge's objection that a gendered name-change would cause "confusion," a unanimous panel of the New York Appellate Division in Albany ruled on November 26 that the person formerly known as Earl William Golden III should be allowed to take the name Elizabeth Whitney Golden.


However, the appellate court also ruled that Justice Jeffrey A Tait, the Broome County trial judge who had denied the name-change petition, should include in his order a statement that the name change could not be used as proof of a change of sex.

What a bizarre noun phrase.  Took me a bit to derive the meaning from the words, especially with "change" and "win" standing on their own in slogans/expressions so much lately.
