In the coven

Phrasal Adjective / Idiomatic Expression

1. Having reached the point in one’s resocialization and/or gender transition at which enough progress has been made—be it socially, initiatorily, biologically, neurologically, anatomically, etc.,—to have gained genuine and non-patronizing intragender acceptance as a fellow woman among one’s matriline, girlfriends, gynarchist social group, and so on; as opposed to the alternative of only receiving nominal or partial intergender acceptance within such groups, thusly meaning one would be seen only as a partial woman/non-woman in their eyes.

Origin: Allusion towards the process of being inducted into a coven, which were historically (and rarely still are) tight-knit tacofests from which boys are barred entry.
“You’ll know you’re in the coven when the platonic affection and/or uncouth conversation begins…”

“I tried asking my foremothers for help with learning tradwifery and the secret family recipes, but I’m not exactly in the coven yet with them, so I didn’t get any.”
