I know, I know! I have to write the story name down WHEN I read it! But in the meantime, can anyone identify these stories?

Young boy rows regularly to an island where he can put on a dress and be himself. No one lives there until, suddenly, a family moves in. He’s ready to run but they, or maybe just their teenaged son, gives him the support he needs.

Young boy in poor rural family, Dad’s an abusive drunk. Boy saves neighbor, an ex-military guy, who was trapped in his barn, and who then takes the whole family under his wing and moves them to his house. The stupid (and drunken) dad dies in a fire in his house.

Elizabeth (?), who grew up with rich but absent parents and found a way to get hormones, is reading at a Starbucks when a man asks to sit with her (it’s crowded). They fall in love… until she reveals she was once a boy. After a few weeks he tries to woo her back with flowers and then earrings. Oh, and he defends a gay man under attack, which makes her think he’ll be okay with her.

A story almost identical to Helen, by Sue Brown, but here the husband doesn’t try to kill himself. After the wife discovers him, rejects him, and tells him to get out by tomorrow, he goes off in a daze to a little cabin behind the house and the next day the wife now cooler-headed, comes and finds him, and leads him back to the house
