There are female dwarves with beards. Yep, they have trans-dwarves.
Tolkien admired the Norse legends and intended his works to serve as a type of mythology for England.
This current Rings prequel looks like a woke mess.
Idris Elba was Heimdall in the Marvel Thor movies.
I’m sure the Nordic people that never saw a black person worship a black god…
Actually, in Tolkien’s work the female dwarfs do have beards. There was only one dwarf female, Dis, who was ever mentioned by name though.

Nope, that’s from Tolkein. Dwarf women would tie their hair under their necks to emulate beards when they engaged in male behavior, such as war. He’s apparently referencing other legends.
To say how authentic this is to ancient legends is tricky. “Elf” has come to mean a thousand different things. Some see elf as intrinsically female, and therefore see dwarves as intrinsically male, although such “elves” probably were closer to brownies, hobgoblins, fairies, or the like. Some saw gender in dwarves as meaningless, since in their minds, dwarves were didn’t reproduce sexually, but were hewn as adults out of stone. Tolkein apparently rejected both notions and playfully suggested why so few humans have ever seen female dwarves, but he did NOT see this as transgenderism because among dwarves, they held to traditionally female roles.
“There are female dwarves with beards. Yep, they have trans-dwarves.”
They aren’t trans-dwarves. Dwarvish women ALL have beards. That’s their natural state, as specified by Tolkien himself.
Black dwarves, not so much.
