An interesting report in (believe it or not) Medical Hypotheses - Alternating gender incongruity: A new neuropsychiatric syndrome providing insight into the dynamic plasticity of brain-sex.

Bigender individuals report alternating between male, female, and (sometimes) mixed gender states. Case and Ramachandran - that's V.S. Ramachandran of phantom limb fame - write:

It came to our attention that many (perhaps most) bigender individuals experience involuntary alternation between male and female states, or between male, female, and additional androgynous or othergendered identities ("Multigender")...
