"Flowers" by Vickie Tern (VickieTern@aol.com). This author invariably writes clever stories about persons who are noncoercively or deservedly forced into transgender situations. The plots generally sound just plain silly when I describe them, but the author writes them in such a way that they actually make sense.

In this case a man who enjoys wearing women's clothes goes to a barbecue with his wife at the home of his neighbors. The male neighbor is a macho man, and his wife is one of those super-tolerant wives who can swing both ways. As the plot unfolds, we discover that our crossdressing protagonist is going to become the boytoy of the guy next door and the soulmate of his wife and the lady next door. I told you it sounded silly. But remember: I also told you the author tells it in a way that makes it just plain interesting.
