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.

    Being in the Questioning mode probably won't survive contact with finding something that actually vibes with you, so to say. In the world of gender, there is plenty of space to be non-binary, or gender fluid, or void, or agender, or demi, or etc all of which if one was a cis man in the questioning phase might feel drawn to. (If you've never seen those terms, you should check em out, particularly demigender which seems to align with how you feel)

    That doesn't mean Questioning ends, cause like every trans person of every stripe also has the fun experience of "yeah, but am I really x gender? Sure, I'm on HRT or sure, I'm present non binary and I get a kick out of people unsure of which bucket I fit or sure, I presented masc yesterday and femme today - but am I reallllllly x gender or am I just faking it to myself." And I imagine for the cis+, that is the cis people who've gone through a questioning phase and figured that despite it all they're still cis, they probably have something similar. If you like thinking about your gender, that's fine you don't have to resolve it - but I'll say you'll probably be happier coming out in a more definitive stance even if that stance is non-permanenet and fluid (such a thing is allowed to happen). You don't have to find a label that applies to you, just a way of being that makes you feel happy.
