Trans Megathread for the Week of 2024-10-07 to 2024-10-13 - ETR 600
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.

Are men/women shoes a lie? Can I just buy men’s shoes without any issues? Will hrt change my feet?
sometimes men's shoes are wider, but this varies by brand. and obviously you'll have to learn the conversions between men's and women's sizing unless you're in the eu
T does, indeed, increase shoe size for people on masculinizing HRT. About one size up (in US size). You can absolutely buy men's shoes if you want, depending on country the size will be a different kind - like size 10 women's is smaller than size 10 men's in US sizing.
There's muscles in your feet that might get affected by hrt, but usually nothing very major. If the shoe is your size it's gonna fit regardless. Plenty of shoes are sold as gender neutral.
I've heard some trans women had their feet shrink on HRT but I'll be honest, I have no idea how that works the other way
Other than that, yeah probably. You'll have to find a little chart on the internet to convert sizes if you live somewhere like the US where you need to do that but you should be fine
I feel like the main difference is just in design, but idk a lot about shoes.
Men's shoes will typically be wider at the same length. If you like comfy shoes this is a good thing. If you're like me trying to find woman's shoes that won't cause permanent damage to my feet, it kind of sucks.
