    Should have just said that it already has female dwarfs and refused to elaborate.

        The Tolkien way, too. Remember Gimli’s bit about people thinking there aren’t dwarf women because they can’t tell them from the men?

        For those confused, discworld dwarfs have both males and females. However, both are stocky and have beards. They also are very egalitarian regarding jobs etc. They long ago gave up correcting the surface races regarding their gender, who assume a burley minor in heavy armour, and a thick beard, is a male dwarf.
