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.

    Even with people who I know with absolute certainty would be supportive, its not easy. And even telling people I was out to and whom have already been supportive that I was starting HRT was hard. I've yet to come out to someone whom I wasn't already certain they'd be accepting. I've been intending to come out to my parents since March next time I visit and I've visited them at least once a month on average and I'm quite certain my stepmom has suspected I was trans for the last 2 years. I think I've finally settled for coming out via text message while hanging out in person because words are impossible.

    So... I think its normal be scared. Some of us spent a long time learning being fem was something to be mocked and learned instinctually to mask and hide and deny. Undoing decades of mental habits is hard.
