* [[Ovid]]'s ''[[The Metamorphoses|Metamorphoses]]'' has the rather touching story of [[Bifauxnen|Iphis]] and [[If It's You It's Okay|Ianthe]], which involves crossdressing, [[Perfectly Arranged Marriage|arranged marriages of the enjoyable variety]], and a [[Deus Ex Machina|magical last minute genderswitch]] that saves the day, making this trope [[Older Than Feudalism]].
* Played with in ''[[Orlando]]'' by Victoria Woolf. The title character is courted by a man posing as a woman. Said man has [[Single-Target Sexuality]], and simply quits posing after Orlando's [[Gender Bender]]. Unfortunately for him, Orlando finds him [[Abhorrent Admirer|irritating either way]] (and later falls in love with a [[Bishonen]].)
* In Albanian folktale "[https://web.archive.org/web/20140301220244/http://www.albanianliterature.net/oral_lit1/OL1-07.html The Girl who Became a Boy]", the eponymous [[Sweet Polly Oliver|crossdressing girl]] impresses a king and is married to his daughter. The princess cannot be satisfied by her new husband, and seeks impossible tasks to get rid of "him". In the last of these, the husband is [[Cursed with Awesome|cursed with]] a [[Gender Bender]]... and is finally able to satisfy the needy princess. They live happily ever after.
