From a reader at a veterans hospital:

I work at a Veterans Hospital in the mental health department. I have made this observation before to my fellow co-workers, some of them who are gay, and they all have agreed with me: There is an extreme amount of veterans with gender identification issues. I’ve never seen so many transgender/transvestites in my entire life than I do on a daily basis at the veterans medical center.
