Maybe it's ok to have a Queen, but I'm not so sure about Kings. Men in un-elected positions of power have very rarely done any good.

There are two (bad) extreme ideas:
1. Women are inferior and should never rule
2. Women are superior and can do no wrong
True equality comes when we realize both men and women screw up just as much, and have just as much good potential IMO.

But men and women don't screw up in equal measure. Biological specialization between the sexes has led to men taking greater risks.
A risk not hazarded can be a bigger screwup than the other way around.
Yeah, not sure about that. If QE1 was any better, it wasn't because of her gender, it was the constraints placed on her because of her gender back in the day. And we are into 'constitutional monarchies' now, not the absolutist version. Also, see: Queen Isabella I.
What makes you think Charles is a man ? Are you judging of his gender on the basis of old stereotypes ? And if he is a man, but decided to identify as a woman, would you then be ok with him being king ?
With leftists nutcases... never short of a good laugh!
