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.

    These all seem like pretty typical signs of transness to me, but imo that doesn’t really mean a lot because feelings around transness vary quite a bit from person to person. I think since you are already questioning, the better way to see if it is for you is to experiment with yourself a little. If you have people you can trust to be cool, maybe explain your feelings to them and ask them to refer to you with a different name or pronouns in private, just as a test run. Or maybe try the same but by making an account online somewhere, if anonymity is a concern. If you’ve got the money, maybe pick out an outfit that you can wear for yourself. Or maybe try painting your nails or getting them done. If these things make you happy, that’s probably a good sign to continue, and if not, then you can just change back, no harm done.
