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.

    My sister decided to tell her therapist about me, saying I looked happier after I transitioned. She told me that it's probably the happiest she's even seen me, and I'm pretty glad that others can see how I'm feeling. Still have stuff going on, but it says a lot about just how bad I was pre-transition.

    Also, her therapist told her that I need to get therapy and find other trans people IRL (friendships or support groups). Trust me, I know, her therapist really read my mind from idk how many miles away yea
