Hayley Krischer at Salon December 2014:
So who is Charles Clymer? Clymer, who self-identifies as a Feminist Leader, has a Women for Equality Facebook page (which now seems mostly defunct) where he’s been alleged to verbally attack women as well as accused of deleting women’s comments who disagree with him. In an article for the Huffington Post last year, Darlena Cunha reported that a former moderator of his page, Zoe Katherine, disagreed with him and then was threatened with being kicked out of the group. “If we did it privately we were guilt-tripped, or simply ignored,” Katherine explained.
Who needs male “feminist leaders” anyway? Who asked him? Imagine Andrew Sullivan self-identifying as a Black Power leader; it would make just as much sense.

I self-identify as a Nobel Prize winner in literature.
Still waiting for my check from Stockholm.
What a Maroon, did you identify as a trans Nobel Prize winner in literature? I think that may be the hold up.
@Gary,

Oops. My bad.
You can tell Charles is serious about being Charlotte because he uses a poorly photoshopped portrait of himself as “Legally Blonde” in his Twitter Profile.
Standards are incredibly high? Hell, I could have written better, similar, more just standards in a drunken haze. Here, lemme try to do it in a single blog comment:
Females only.
Hm, well, that was more concise than intended, but i think it captures all the relevant factors and gives sure consideration to all competing interests.
Heh – “more concise than intended” is a nice touch.

No, What a Maroon has to identify as a Nobel Laureate in Transliterature, which is not literature about trans people, but writing that goes beyond literature.
Ophelia: I’m glad someone besides my immediate family appreciates my sense of humor on occasion. It’s a bit dry for most.
I think it was Morgane Oger who commented that a mediocre white man will be happy to step in and help feminists where he’s not wanted.
Yep. Morgane.
Oger.
