Masculine of center (MoC) is a queer masculine identity. As described by the grassroots organization BUTCH Voices, this is a term that was "coined by B. Cole of the Brown Boi Project, that recognizes the breadth and depth of identity for lesbian/queer/womyn who tilt toward the masculine side of the gender scale and includes a wide range of identities such as butch, stud, aggressive/AG, dom, macha, tomboi, trans-masculine etc."[1]
Masculine of center is not a trans-only identity; cis women can also be masculine of center.[2]
The term "masculine of center" has been criticized for oversimplifying "gender expression down to a simple gradiation, with pure femininity on one end and pure masculinity on the other."[3]
Notable people
One notable person who identifies as masculine of center is the American fashion designer and activist Nik Kacy, who also identifies as third sex and and genderfluid.[4]
