The ETR 600 is a class of trains built by Alstom, and are used on the routes between Roma-Bolzano and Roma-Trieste. The train tilts, using Pendolino technology, allowing higher speeds to be maintained through corners without causing discomfort to passengers. The trains are operated by Trenitalia, originally under the Frecciargento (Silver Arrow) branding used for trains capable of travelling between 250 km/h and 285 km/h, In 2022 they were rebranded under Frecciarossa (Red Arrow) after the Frecciargento branding was retired.

The ETR 600 has also been adapted for use in China as the China Railway CRH5 Hexie. Initially 60 sets were ordered, of which nine were manufactured by Alstom and 51 by CNR Changchun Railway Vehicles. Since, another 80 sets have been created for a total of 140, operating across China's north from Beijing to Ürümqi.

    Couple of sweet things happened yesterday. First, and older woman co-worker said she always thinks I have such pretty hair and she wanted to let me know, then when I walked past a day care on my way home one of the small kids yelled "mommy" after me several times, it was very cute.

    then i got a bit sad i'll never be able to have kids the normal way

      having children

      Depending on how young you are, uterus transplants could be a thing for trans women! It's already a thing for cis women. As a matter of fact, the first children born with transplanted uteri are already in kindergarten. There is not really a reason to exclude trans women, they just did, we have the same blood vessels and all, they're always born with c section (too high risk) they only leave the uterus in short term like 2 to 3 years and you have to be on antirejection drugs during the time of the transplant. There might be some reasoning that you'd need to be post op, but it's been a while since I read the case reports. I wouldn't be surprised if the first trans girl/woman to give birth with a transplanted uterus is not only already born but is older than 15 (said trans girl would obviously be older by the time of the pregnancy lol)

        spoiler

        that's amazing, i had no idea uterus transplants had already been done aubrey-happy unfortunately, i am fucking poor, so i doubt it's gonna be an option for me even if it became possible for trans women. i'm mostly okay with it though. there's a sentimental part of me that's sad about not being able to give birth, but i don't believe that's required in order to be a "real" mom or anything like that.
