Hannah Miyamoto is an intersexed retired attorney with master's degrees in Women's Studies and Sociology. Starting in graduate school, she has worked in theater and film for over 20 years. This August, Hannah will enter California State University-Northridge to earn an M.A. in Entertainment Industry Management.
Hannah grew up in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and earned her B.S. in Civil Engineering (1986), her Juris Doctorate degree (1992), her B.A. (2003) and her M.S. (2005) in Women's Studies at universities in Minnesota and Wisconsin. She earned her M.A. in Sociology (2012) while pursuing a Ph.D. at the University of Hawai'i at Manoa. Over those seven years she assisted the last research work of Dr. Milton Diamond (1934-2024), an expert on intersexed development and transgenderism known world-wide.
Born and raised as a boy, in 1996, physicians diagnosed that Hannah has Partial Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (PAIS), a condition of intersexed development. Upon realizing that she could never succeed as a man, she began living as woman in 1997. Since her first play, Twelve Nights with Viola & Olivia (2005), a drama based on Shakespeare's gender-focused classic Twelfth Night, many of Hannah's works have included intersexed characters.
After moving to California to care for her late mother, Hannah earned A.A. degrees in Business Administration and Accounting at MiraCosta College in 2023, and she will leave MiraCosta College in 2025 with an A.A. in Film, Television and Electronic Media, and a certificate of achievement in Video and Media Design.
Hannah has experience as a playwright, screenwriter, novelist, actor, director, producer, cinematographer, editor, sound designer, VFX creator, animator, costume designer, lighting designer, and graphic artist.
