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.

  • Hot take, its okay to have secrets, or to not tell people things, or not interact with people you don't want to. Obviously I'm not advocating for with-holding information that harms people.

    Everything else aside I cant stop thinking about this current wave of discourse about how people are entitled to know everything about you just cause youre dating, and (*comparing it) to the you have to reveal your trans status thing

    sorry I'm venting, obviously I'm not even mentioning the misogyny, which ew

    • Glad I missed the discourse on that. I couldn't imagine dating someone unless I know they accept that I'm trans, but if you're in deep stealth and it's a secret almost no one knows, it's silly (and weird thonk ) to demand that you should tell everyone you've been on two dates with.

      • Im actually thinking about the discussion around "cheating" but trying to be vague so as to not entice a rehashing lol

        oh i missed a word in the first comment, whoops

        • Oh, I get what you're referring to then. Plenty of very strange vibes in that thread, but I'm glad people aren't actually discussing the trans dating thing.
