People who identify as masculine-of-center also do not have to identify with a specific degree of masculinity. They can just be somewhere on the masculine side of the gender scale, no matter how close to the center of the scale that is.
Identifying as masculine-of-center can be liberating as it can encourage people to present in a way that feels more natural for them than wearing dresses, styling their hair long, and adhering to other conventions for women. Many masculine-of-center individuals say their presentation is practical, an expression of their true selves, or a way to signal their queerness to others. However, the masculine-of-center community is still struggling for visibility as society can be slow to understand and embrace the way these female or nonconforming individuals present themselves.
