Spacing between two relational symbols

I have a relation symbol that I want to define through an equality. The problem is that when I do this, LaTeX puts too little space between the relation symbol and the equality symbol. My guess is that this is because both are relation symbols. Here is a MWE:
documentclassarticle
begindocument
[cong_mathcalF = (x,y) in X^2 mid forall F in mathcalF. x in F iff y in F.]
enddocument
If I specify that = should be a binary operator, then the spacing between those two symbols is correct, but now the spacing between equality and the following set is too small:
documentclassarticle
begindocument
[cong_mathcalF mathbin= (x,y) in X^2 mid forall F in mathcalF. x in F iff y in F.]
enddocument
So my question is: How do I ensure that the spacing around = is correct on both sides? I could try hacking it by inserting spacing manually until I'm happy, but I am hoping for a more standardised answer that will also work in other situations.

Just brace the symbol:
documentclassarticle
begindocument
[
cong_mathcalF = (x,y) in X^2 mid forall F in mathcalF. x in F iff y in F.
]
enddocument
What happens is that TeX adds no space between consecutive relation atoms (cong_mathcalF
and =
), but when a symbol is braced it becomes an “ordinary atom”, just like a letter.
