Re: A dwarf by any other name...
Could easily say that transgenders are more common and accepted among them than humans.
It's simply incredibly rude to mention, so not necessarilly known by non elf-dwarf.

Re: A dwarf by any other name...
Tomboy isn't a gender, but neuter is.
Tomboy isn't transgender either, it's a descriptor of a biological female who enjoys some combination of stereotypically masculine things (like sports, guns, automobiles, or simply liking pants more than skirts). It's a broad enough term that it applies to "Bulldyke" lesbians, transgender women, warrior princesses, and my mom with roughly equal validity.

You could also borrow an idea from Elizabeth Moon's The Legacy of Gird, and make them Gnomes with a legal system far in advance of everyone's, which (in turns) makes them a litigious people. That creates the opportunity to make the two most terrifying experiences the PCs might face when visiting your "dwarf" analogues is either steam-punkish Terminators, or humorless, anal-retentive litigators. :)
