I would say that my husband probably was asked as many ridiculous questions as I was. The difference is that I'm really mouthy, and he spent longer in the military and really believed the system would take care of him.
In the military you actually get great medical care. People in the military believe the system will take care of them, so when they come out, they're not always their own best advocates, and that is really problematic. Whether it's male, female or LGBTQ, people coming out of the military expect the system to take care of them, and Veterans Affairs does not act like that. It doesn't act like the military medical system, and that's something that could really help.
As for the journal, we started it in 2015. It is indexed on some sites, and we've been trying to get it indexed on PubMed.
If you go to the CIMVHR website, it's fully open access. You can access all the articles there and search anything you like. I would suggest that there are some fantastic articles in there that would help the committee.
