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 breasts are very small and it bums me out sometimes (like right now)... Its been two years, steady levels (that were pretty high, just got my labs back and e was at 410, when goal is 100-300 (pg/ml)), and still little to no growth. Theyre an AA cup, maybe an A, with no volume. Like, they go out a ways, but have no volume to fill out a bra or look even somewhat normal on my (fairly broad for a woman) chest. I really want to love them but a lot of the time i just look at them and feel sad that theyre so tiny and oddly shaped. Like, my family tends to have C cups or larger on both sides, why did i get the tiny titty gene? ralsei-pout idk i dont want a BA for a few reasons, but might get one just to feel better about my chest. Is that stupid and a poor motivation? I feel like it is... Idk... Idek anymore, i just would like a bit more breast tissue please and thankyou

      Besides doing prog regularly, you should not have any hesitation about getting a BA if you want bigger breasts - see how the prog does after a year at least. Having breasts you feel are too small and it's causing you dysphoria is a perfectly valid reason to want a BA.

      That's not a bad motivation, that's the most normal motivation in the world~ also it's something a lot of other women think about anyway lol

        I need to internalize this. Its the same thinking that had me not transitioning for so long...

        My main thing with BAs is that you need to go back every 5-15 years, and idk, im just so hesitant – so scared – to do that... I have time to think tho, its not like i can afford it on my zero dollars a month salary lol ;.;

          That's true. It sometimes needs revisions, maybe removal. And you do have to check in, 5 to 15 years are quite a long time though! Yeah, see if prog helps while you save up/get work lol and if prog helps and you change your mind - well now have whatever you saved anyway

        Yeah it should be. I have some but was really iffy on taking it regularly and stopped after maybe a month or two. Maybe i should start with it again?

          i've personally been having pretty good results with it, so i'd recommend it. it's probably not gonna give you d cups, but it might give you a bit more that you'll be happier with

            I dont even want d cups or giant breasts, id ideally have a b-c cup size. But even just if they filled out a little bit it would be really nice. Idk, im just feeling down on myself rn ig...

      just wanna say you're not alone. cuddle i'm in a similar boat and it sucks. it's okay to feel bad about it; your feelings are your feelings.

      seconding what everyone else has said as well. try prog, see if you get some results you like. i just started it a few months ago and i feel like mine are starting to round out a bit, finally.:::
