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 ΓrΓΌmqi.

Having the first dysphoria day in months. Trying my best to pull myself out of the hole. Washed and styled my ratty hair. Tried on 2 outfits, hated them, found a third. Even if I'm miserable, I will be queer in public. I will spite the cis.So anyway, when I was a guy, my wife used to describe me with a lot of different adjectives ranging strong to sexy and everything in between. Things related to my personality or values.
Since starting transition, she only describes me as some form of pretty (I know I'm lucky to have someone to describe me as pretty, but I'm emotional and whining rn). I brought up that it was kind of fucked up months ago because, while I enjoy being pretty and beautiful, it's not the ONLY thing I am as a fem. I know she doesn't always want to be described in those terms either. She didn't really take it seriously.
This morning, when I finally got my outfit settled, she said I looked like "the smartest woman in the room" and I legit got dewy eyed (that's where I am emotionally today). So I brought up my issue again, and I think it will stick this time.
I think it's good advice generally to open up the narrow confines of "cute" and "pretty" when trying to achieve femininity. Would recommend.

words to live by, tbh.

I will not put on the dysphoria hoodie. I will not put on the dysphoria clothes.
