This overlooks the queer history behind Queen. Using the term Queen was historically a perojative against men who were not masculine enough. Its use as a compliment is therefore more accurately described as a reclamation of a homophobic/misyginisric slur, rather than the ad hoc application of royal titles.
The term King does not have this history.
"not that it's entirely applicable to this case..."
Also, you'd have to be silly to deny "queen" isn't also a royal title, no matter how little respect female rulers have gotten throughout history. The problem is the class of people, and "queen" is absolutely part of it.
