Please refer to the slide & text on dichotomous variables in moderation to determine what your options are for examining gender.
Variables that are coded 0 & 1 are not typically centered, because the Y intercept would no longer make any sense, and this is the primary reason for centering a variable.
All moderator and predictor variables that are not contrast coded should, however, be centered before creating an interaction term.
