That is, the new god of thunder is a woman.
Not that the old god of thunder changed sexes.
In the aftermath of the “Original Sin” storyline, Thor takes up the battle axe Jarnbjorn as a substitute for Mjolnir and subsequently loses his left arm in combat against Malekith the Accursed. Meanwhile, an unidentified woman, later revealed as Jane Foster, lifts Mjolnir; taking possession of Thor’s power. Although Thor initially attempts to reclaim the hammer, he relinquishes the name and role of Thor after witnessing the woman wield its power. Thor Odinson continues his work as a superhero under the name “Odinson”, using Jarnbjorn and a prosthetic arm made of black uru.

* Uru is a metal ore in the Marvel Comics universe. It resembles stone but it also seems to have metallic properties. It seems able to store most energies, particularly magic.
Uru is highly durable and retains enchantments very well. Its luster has been described as “badly wrought iron”. When Uru is enchanted, it becomes much more durable. Albeit very difficult to forge, weapons and items built in Uru, especially the enchanted ones, are resilient to most forms of damage.
