But this is all unnecessary if we accept that Noldor don’t have ruling queens.
This is true, but if that is what is done, will the audience not see sexism as the main issue of her story?

Perhaps she chooses not to take the crown? I have an idea that she knows power is a temptation and this could be a call-forward to being tempted by the One Ring in The Fellowship of the Ring.This is true, but if that is what is done, will the audience not see sexism as the main issue of her story?

Just trying to find a way to pass over Galadriel without the passover looking sexist.
What do you suggest?I get it, I would also rather undermine the dramatic power of her refusal of the Ring.
What do you suggest?
If that is what is decided, but it will have knock on consequences.I think that Haakon was on the right track earlier. There could be a substantial minority of Noldor lords who see Galadriel as Queen effectively making Celeborn their King, which they would emphatically not want. She could make this decision so as not to cause a civil war.
a consensus choice out of the eligible and willing "royals" of who is the most suited to the job
I agree with all of what you're saying, but I did not suggest that she'd refuse to rule freely; she'd be forced to or she'd have to give up her marriage and her friendship with Melian and Thingol. But this seems to be irrelevant. I support the idea that the Noldor never establish rules of succession but use consensus choice, as suggested above.It's too early in her story for her to pass on freely offered power like that
