transcription: in lotr the word "man" is only used for human men so now im imagining like, someone: "are you a man or a woman?" pippin: "im a hobbit" someone: "but whats in your trousers?" pippin: "mostly snacks"

Hobbits are men (distantly related) in Tolkien's lore.

Dwarves and Elves are completely different things.

Source for hobbits being related to men?

Still, Tolkien clearly states in "Concerning Hobbits" that hobbits are not technically a distinct race from Men, the way that Elves or Dwarves are, but branched off from other humans in the distant past of the Elder Days.
