But then you make the assumption that beards and dressing in chain mail, etc. is the male gender norm for dwarves like it is with humans, which is incorrect. Dwarves of both genders have beards and wear chain mail. It's not a male gender norm, it's a dwarf culture norm.

Dwarves of both sexes also use "he" pronouns. That's why I think that the default dwarven gender and cultural norm is that all dwarves are male regardless of their biological sex. And that's why I think that you could read Cherry as trans if you wanted to - because her gender identity is different from the default gender assigned to her (and to all other dwarves) as a cultural norm. You could also read it a different way if you wanted to, for instance, if you thought the default dwarven gender norm was agender. But my point definitely doesn't really have anything to do with beards or chain mail.

You could read Cherry as an eight legged space unicorn if you wanted to...but it would be incorrect and a real stretch, much like how reading a biological female character who identifies as female and tries to present as female as trans.

If Cherry was human, she would definitely be cis. But dwarven society approaches gender differently. All dwarves get designated 'male'. So Cherry's gender is different from the one culturally assigned to her at birth.

No, that's not correct. All dwarves are NOT designated "male". There are males and females, and the exact gender identity of individual dwarves isn't something publicly discussed. You're basing this off a completely wrong assumption about the universe.

Sure, I think that's also a valid interpretation.
