I have a suggestion: make her a man :)
No, really. Perhaps she can "ritually" become a man by adopting a man's= identity (disguising herself as a man for a period of time, either with or= without the knowledge of her fellow cult members) and passing some= ritualized tests designed to prove her maleness. I can see this as some= kind of tribal ceremony or ritual drama, where she has to go through some= sort of male puberty ritual. Of course, she has to have the support and= intervention of tribal sponsors.
Alternately, she can do this somehow without tribal support, but she has to= use her brains and trickery to perform male functions (hide her obvious= female attributes in the sweat-bath, get circumcised, marry a woman and= sire a child, etc.). Far more difficult, but a great deal more rewarding.
Afterward, she would be permitted to function in a male role in tribal= society, including joining male-only cults. Some tribesmen would admire= her moxie, others would hate her flouting tribal customs and call her a= bad influence on the children.
