This paper presents an analytic autoethnographic account of "double mimicry" and itseventual collapse within the rigid structures of Japanese academia and feminist communities.The author, a researcher identifying as Twice-Exceptional (2E) with an IQ exceeding 200(ASD/ADHD) and a transgender woman, has historically navigated survival by performing both"masculinity" and "neurotypicality." This narrative juxtaposes two pivotal emotionalexperiences: the traumatic rejection characterized by the phrase "Muri" (impossible) from afeminist leader upon the disclosure of gender identity, and the euphorigenic acceptancefound in a private gathering of women. Through the duality of these tears—tears of "RationalGrief" stemming from essentialist exclusion and tears of "Unimaginable Joy" arising fromvalidation—this paper critiques the "formatted exclusion" of academia and the "biologicalessentialism" of exclusionary feminism. Specifically, it highlights the "Intention-Action Gap"caused by Executive Dysfunction, arguing that institutional demands for formatting perfectionserve as a discriminatory filter against neurodivergent intellects. The paper concludes thattrue inclusivity necessitates transcending both "somatic" and "formatted" judgments torecognize the intellect and soul within.
