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.

      Okay, I didn't know about that part of your story. Saying no should've been a full stop, wtf, not a "oh well are you sure you're sure?" They won't do a knee operation if you rescind your consent the day of. There were some major health professional failures there

      • need to clarify something

        It wasn't the surgeon that did that.

        • My time before surgery was trying to be as cis as possible. I only started engaging in trans communities on alt accounts in the year leading up to surgery. I didn't even like to call myself trans, I'm pretty embarrassed looking back
        • Two months before surgery, I started to worry going through with it would remove the last connection I had to being trans. I spoke with my therapist about this a few times because it was very confusing. She never put much stock in it and eventually I found out never wrote it down in her notes that I said that lol
        • The night before, I stayed up so inappropriately late considering I was waking up at 4:30 am. All I felt was conflicted and uncomfortable
        • The morning of I skipped all my alarms, told the former friend staying with me I wasn't going. I didn't entirely understand why, but I'm not doing it. -My former friend and former partner both told me I was just nervous and this is what I had wanted, so I should just do it

        I even told the anesthesiologist I needed to be the one to give the final okay to go under. She said she understood. I don't even remember saying yes or her asking. I have a clear memory of being in the surgery room and the lead up to all that too. If that wasn't clear I was having issues, then idk what the fuck was
