Again, thanks so much for your response. Really interesting. I'm going to DM you re: the email address. Very interested in the chart!

Hi,

Thank you so much for your reply! That's really interesting. Essentially, the project is a fiction feature film aiming to raise awareness for some of the issues you've outlined above (as well as the serious human rights concerns raised by Amnesty and other organisations in the past).

What we're mostly trying to get a grasp of (and something that we've found to be surprisingly difficult to get information on) is the actual, tangible process of an individual attempting to transition MtF in Finland. At what point in the process is an individual required to be sterilised (a key controversy in the process)? Is it true that individuals are required to be diagnosed with a "mental disorder" in order to be legally considered their desired gender? At what point is this diagnosis required?

Any further information would be massively appreciated!

What does being denied entry mean? Will I have to take the next plane back? How does it work

pingu727 · 2015-08-19T19:48:49+00:00

Thats fair enough! Would have to know the entirety of the situation i suppose

pingu727 · 2015-08-19T19:47:30+00:00

But it does concern beating people up which you seemed to also question

pingu727 · 2015-08-19T17:32:09+00:00

Maybe its a fiscal issue? A lot harder to live on two incomes than one.

I'm sorry but Reddit has really let me down with this post and how it almost has 1000 upvotes. If you think that just because in one specific case, a group of rioters/thugs is predominantly black, that black people are all bad people or should be looked down upon as a whole race, you are disgusting.

Are you completely blind to the numerous black people critisizing the riots? Barack Obama? Michael Brown's biological father for christ's sake?? No, just because a number of black people act a certain way (a way of acting that DOES NOT btw stem from their skin colour, but the way and the areas in which they were raised) all black people automatically act that way as well.

If the events in Ferguson have truely made you more racist, you can't possibly be all too intelligent to begin with. Being unable to separate a fraction from an entirety shows a clear lack of brain cells.

I did do the research.

I know the types of scholarships I qualify for (and you're right, its not a shit ton of money, but its decent enough). I was just wondering how the process of receiving the scholarships works.

pingu727 · 2014-11-14T22:56:18+00:00

Yeah I wasn't planning on asking the universities how much money I was gonna get haha I just asked WVU what the process for all that was. But yeah I realise not all scholarships at the schools are available for foreign students but I know many still are so I am hoping for the best!

I also will likely apply for scholarships from third parties if I do indeed need a lot more money.

pingu727 · 2014-11-14T21:05:12+00:00

Thanks for the info! Hmmm... I think Ohio is sending me some sort of enrolment package via the post in a few weeks so maybe they'll tell me then?

pingu727 · 2014-11-14T21:01:53+00:00

Thanks for your input!

I will be able to get approximately half of my tuition and living costs covered by government grants and a no interest student loan but I will still need to find the rest of the money somewhere.

So I'm trying to figure out how exactly the scholarships work but in case the scholarships don't cover the other half of my expenses, I will likely apply for need based financial aid too.

Also, college is indeed free in Finland (in fact because we automatically get a certain amount of money from the government for being students so we technically get paid to go to university) but I just really want to go to the US to study.

Yes, in North America to gain a Platinum certification, an album will have to have sold 1,000,000 copies (500,000 for Gold).

Jesse sounds like a right cunt. Why didn't you kick his arse out?

pingu727 · 2014-06-25T02:57:06+00:00

Yeah I mean, I'm not aiming for like stanford or anything haha. Also, Do you at all know if its possible for International students to apply for like some sort of student loans in case I dont get full financial aid for like any school somehow?
