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.

I made a stressy post a few megas ago about my HRT not working very well. I then avoided reading too many of the replies for ages, because thinking about it amongst all the other things going on in my life just felt like too much I guess. I've been trying to rethink that and especially with the anniversary of Al-Aqsa flood, I'm aware how privileged I am to be able to avoid the things that stress me out - there are no content warnings for the horrors you experience when your home is bombed. It shouldn't be their job, but the determination of the Palestinian resistance is spurring me on to keep going as well.
Good news is that the couple of changes I made to my HRT regimen have made a very noticeable difference and I'm very thankful to feel more at home in my own skin than ever before. Been feeling lots of emotions too, more than ever before. It's mostly manifesting as me crying a lot, but it feels good to actually feel my feelings out instead of swallowing them whole into some pit with innumerable other repressed feelings, even if I'm not actively unpacking anything from the pit at the moment. And I already love my partner more and more every day, but it's been a lot more, so that's the best.
Anyway, thanks to everyone who replied to that last post of mine, I'm gonna do a few crossthread replies in the replies to this comment.

Death to the posting hegemony
I went to a irl queer meetup recently (not covid safe, but I'm just making the most of my short immunity period I guess) and it sucked seeing in real time how the most privileged people in the group were also the ones that were the most willing to share things. So inspired by the desire to talk over white cis gay men, I'm trying to share things instead of just dismissing my experiences as not inherently valuable or even real, which is what I was taught by my wonderful biological family. Anyway we'll see if that results in me posting more at non US times lol
I hate this.
I care not for the plight of the white cis gay man. The best part of bearzone is its diversity of perspectives.
Death to the US posting hedgemony!!!
It was so typical. Business degree? Check. Suburban "my neighbours are so scary!" horror fan? Check. Basing a whole 5 minute monologue on the idea that gayness is exclusively a sex thing? Check.

a ~~world~~ website where many worlds are possible is a beautiful thing
Love many worlds being possible though

Yeah this is a good call, so thanks for pushing me in this direction. I started dissolving my estrogen tablets under my tongue instead of swallowing them and it's probably boosted my E more than if I had swallowed one more tablet every day lol
Excited for my next blood test, hopefully it's good stuff
Oh hell yeah sublingual E!!!
feels good

Yeah, very real. I struggle with long form reading as well, so I'm kinda going off a few web resources... Plus it's just fundimentally stressful as fuck to have to learn about your own health like this, I literally understand so little about the human body
Hopefully I can figure out how to come off spiro eventually without too much tinkering, or accidentally doing a partial detransition for like 9 months

I think I just know so little medical terms, with english not being my first language - I'm already lost in the first paragraph of that text...
When I first started HRT I wanted to look into ways to transition without breast growth, since I did find the idea of growing breasts scary. I couldn't really figure it out, so I went ahead with "normal" transfeminine HRT and just thought: if worst comes to worst and I really hate my breasts I will just have top surgery like so many other trans people. At first the breast growth was freaking me out a bit, but I'm feeling much better about it now and don't see myself wanting to get rid of them :)

Yeah I'm on 300 as well now, and now that it's working better I'm also terrified of tinkering with it D:
So, thats fair, but I should say actually I switched to CPA last week. It has been a major difference for me... Much better in every category imaginable, even 15 years after I started transition. Dont really understand why, but I take a tiny quarter tab and my chest is growing again, somehow??
Wow that's actually amazing, I'm really happy for you! I'll definitely keep CPA in mind

subcutaneous injections, nsfw
I deffo want to switch to injections someday, but I guess I'm just worried about learning how to do it from the internet. Less in a way that I don't think the information isn't out there or is inaccurate, but more in the ADHD way of "I need a body double or nothing is getting done". The perfect scenario in my head is if I meet a trans person irl who knows how to do it and is willing to teach me, but I'm not sure when/if that will happen haha
Yeah this sounds great tbh. Although I haven't really explored any of the options for bottom surgery yet and know very little about it. Kinda just focusing on other things for now I guess, even though I do experience pretty bad bottom dysphoria...
