* WholesomeCrossdresser: One story, [[http://skippyslist.com/2010/11/19/the-battalion-dance-2/ "The Battalion Dance"]], tells the story of Skippy and his fellow soldiers being forced to attend a dance that they ''really'' didn't want to (mainly because they were actually forced to work in multiple car washes to raise money for said dance, and when that didn't work out, [[HappinessIsMandatory attendance was made mandatory]]... but everyone had to either buy/rent a suit or a dress, ''and'' buy the damn ticket. Suffice to say, everyone hated this dance.) Skippy initially tries attending wearing a dress, but before the dance, someone rats him out and he is not allowed to wear the dress. Then he meets a transvestite... [[spoiler: and gets ratted out again, and shortly afterwards, mandatory dance attendance is cancelled. Skippy noted that his attempt to go to the dance with a drag queen may have had nothing to do with the decision, since it's kind of against the rules for the higher-ups to order their soldiers to spend money on a dance for their wives (and it's also against the rules to order them to appear in any uniform that wasn't issued to them, incidentally.).]]
