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.

    Sometimes getting into an inpatient psych situation can help jumpstart your gender meds but

    What really? This sounds like it wouldn't be real, does that actually work? I'm used to gatekeepers using any mental health abnormality as an excuse not to prescribe or diagnose.

      It's a crapshoot, totally depends on the psych on call, the nurses, etc. But they would be coming in to see her regularly, and it's a possibility that she might get someone cool who then prescribes. I guess it depends on country too, cause I think the system you were in did do some shitty gatekeeping style thing on you

        I'm weird personally because I spent a year dicking around with adult men asking me what sort of underwear I was wearing (age 15) at a children's hospital before I found out what informed consent was and just did that.

        It seems absurd to me that a psych situation would result in good gendery things happening, but only because healthcare in the west sucks so badly. That is how it SHOULD be. Idk if it would be worth the risk though...
