Given the circunstances, the most likely explanation is that Jane is denying her heterosexuality because not doing so would "invalidate" Stephanie.

That's a very commonly reported reality -- Jane is pressured to "recraft" her public persona as a lesbian (which she isn't) for the comfort of Stephanie, who also now presents as a lesbian (and is not). It's a double deception.

I wasn't meaning Steve had changed as well, I was theorising instead Jane had come out.

Coming out and transitioning are fundamentally different categories of action.

ETA "instead" is huge . . . completely changes the thought experiment.
