Yup. What was that stockbroker or something called who won Glamour magazine's Woman of the Year a few years ago? He carefully built his career in a pinstripe suit, then started going in on alternative days as a(n inappropriately dressed) woman. Part-time womaning for giggles.

But if he chose to list his gender as 'woman' in official statistics, his high earnings would be counted as female. There are too few people doing this to affect the overall average gender (really sex) gap in wages, say, but it is still extremely annoying and insulting.
