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.
