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.

Man, as a recent immigrant and trans person, dealing with Britain's healthcare system is possibly the most exhausting and degrading thing I've ever dealt with.

I'm going to crucify the GP

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

entirely understandable, years ago i spent quite a lot of money going private through gendergp just for my gp to refuse to honour the prescription. i try and avoid interacting with the nhs as much as possible now

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago

And yeah it's so fucking expensive to go private. Main reason I haven't.

there was probably a way i could have challenged it at the time, but i just said fuck it and went diy

Sometimes there are clinics for and by immigrants and bipoc that provide free or cheap hrt consultations and prescriptions. Maybe that’s an option for you as well? I don’t want to give false hope though, a lot of those clinics have long waiting lists and are volunteer based.

Transes, what's going on with me?

spoilerWhat's with this whole imposter thing?

Not only do I want to be a woman, but I want to want to be a woman. So why can't I believe it?

My wife and friends are all very supportive. I get she/hers. They use my new name. I'm dressing like a woman. Going through transition things like hair removal and voice training, but there's something holding me back.

I don't even know what it is. I can't even point to it. I'm clearly not cis (and don't want to be), and if I looked at another trans woman and saw her doing all the things I'm doing, I'd be like, "oh, that's a woman." But me? Idk, feels like something STILL hasn't clicked.

Like, I'm happy. I'm happier than I've been in a long time, but I'm afraid I'll wake up one day and be like, "well all that was weird. Wonder what I was thinking."

I ask if I'm doing this for the wrong reasons. What even are the wrong reasons? Lmao.

I've seen a thousand other trans people with this same thought, and now I'm going through it. Ugh, exhausting!

(Gonna keep transitioning tho. I won't be stopped!)

tbh even if this were to happen, as unlikely as it sounds, you can just stop doing it. at worst it was a time of experimenting with gender and that's cool. I do think we know ourselves better than others though, so if you don't think your cis and feel happy transitioning, it sounds like a good direction your moving in (whenever you end up)

many such cases

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

my idea for fixing spore: break it into three separate full sized games for MEGA SPORE

Cell/Creature stage: Spore, but far more fleshed out and only focusing on those two stages

Tribal/Civ stage: Civ 4, Caveman2Cosmos mod, up until space travel

Space stage: Stellaris

this will never be made but is fun to imagine

chronic illness, doctorswent to urgent care today about my current fatigue crash and damn, i wish the nurse practitioner who saw me could be my gp. she validated my chronic fatigue symptoms, she actually suggested it may be me/cfs (!!!), and she told me that the previous gps i saw who wrote off my chronic illness as just depression were wrong and that i should keep advocating for myself. she actually said that i should find a new pcp because my old pcp was not taking my issues seriously. i have never felt so validated from a medical professional before. i honestly want to cry just thinking about it.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 days ago

That is such a fucking win!

I HATE when doctors don't believe what I'm telling them. I just avoid wasting my time going to them these days.

So glad you found someone who actually listens!

The FitnessGram Pacer test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues. The 20 meter Pacer test will begin in 30 seconds. Line up at the start. The running speed starts slowly, but gets faster each minute after you hear this signal boop. A single lap should be completed each time you hear this sound ding. Remember to run in a straight line, and run as long as possible. The second time you fail to complete a lap before the sound, your test is over. The test will begin on the word start. On your mark, get ready, start.

I do self-criticism constantly because I’m trapped in a Maoist cult where comrades (white terrorists) criticize me mercilessly for having a fascist credit card (VISA Silver Signature Rewards)

They won’t let me order vegan pizza anymore because the phone is fascist and “summoning my pizza slaves with a bourgeois app” is “bad vibes”

Yapping, 'boymode' theorisingWe say that the cis are easy to fool, unobservant and to an extent that's absolutely true. But I also think that it's more about cisnormativity: not only are the cis not keyed to think "this person is changing their gender" of course, but also as a result they want to believe that the gender is the same. So even if their kid has inexplicably grown something chesty under that hoodie, why investigate when they are reassured by said kid that they're Still Totally A "Boy" For Sure, y'know? They have no vested interest in anything outside the gender status quo, usually, I think.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Yeah I think a lot of cis people want to believe in cisnormativity and transvestigating people by trying to identify boy/girl moders is ironically also destabilizing to cisnormativity in much the same way that trans people are. It’s blurring the gender binary by taking someone who has traits associated with the “opposite sex” and explicitly gendering them to cast the accused as something other than a cis man/woman. This has a similar effect to being openly trans in that it creates a gender transgression from the accused’s body. And so most cis people just don’t mention, or even think about it.

The other part of this is that, despite what “edgy” jokes may have you believe, cis people care deeply about misgendering and understand it to be very insulting — at least to cis people that is. And accusing a cis person of boy/girl moding is essentially misgendering them and so is usually avoided for the sake of politeness
