Does anyone else have periods in their life where they feel more one gender than the other?

Yes! What do you expect when society (whoever that is) continuously and arbitrarily moves the boundaries?

Last night, my wife told a friend of ours that she would wear a dress to services at our congregation. My wife changed her mind, and our friend found herself the only one there not wearing pants. That's a big change from when I was younger.

That was a big change just in my lifetime.  When I was little, I always had to wear a dress and my mother and grandmother always wore dresses.  Now I couldn't tell you the last time I saw my mom in a skirt at church.  It's a good change, though.

Certainly.

I have found though that when I most matched my body was also when others could most easily recognize that I was not a typical male. 

I'm glad I'm not alone. That was a hard year for me because I had never felt more male for such a long period of time. Now, it varies in increments like a month or maybe even a week. Heck, sometimes even day to day I may flip flop genders. I agree with what you say about feeling the most in touch when your identity is a bit obscure.
