DAR Patriots defend women’s society from men posing as ladies.
Preserving the Historic Character of the Daughters of the American Revolution
Founded in 1890 by women, the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) has been a symbol of service and community dedication. However, the organization now faces a threat to its historic character from transgender ideology.
During the annual convention at Memorial Continental Hall, the DAR introduced proposed bylaws amendments. While the focus was on increasing application fees, there was a subtle amendment to update nondiscrimination language. This change raised suspicions among members, who began to question if it meant allowing men who identify as women to join the DAR.
Concerns grew when it was revealed that some states allow individuals to change the sex on their birth certificates. Members reported seeing a male wearing the DAR insignia and credentials at a recent event. It seemed that the national society had already crossed a significant threshold without the knowledge or approval of its membership.
At the business meeting, President General Pamela Wright confirmed that the amendment would allow males to join if their birth certificates certified them as female. She explained that the DAR needed to adopt a non-discrimination statement to protect its tax-exempt, non-profit status.
Delegates expressed opposition to the amendment, citing the importance of maintaining the DAR as a women’s society. However, the motion to end the discussion and pass the amendment was abruptly declared successful without a formal count.
News of the bylaw change spread among chapter members, many of whom were unaware of the amendment. Concerns and opposition were voiced on a DAR-sponsored social media site, but posts were removed, and members were directed to contact their State Regent for clarification.
To clarify, the approved bylaws amendment does not change the policy on membership eligibility. It simply added additional non-discrimination language to mirror the requirements of federal law and protect our tax-exempt status. We continue to only accept those into membership who can prove lineal descent from someone with qualified Revolutionary War service and who has a certified birth certificate indicating they are female. If you have further questions, you should reach out to your State Regent.
Despite the response from DAR administrators, members persisted in seeking answers and were accused of spreading misinformation. Many members feel betrayed by a society that was established by and for women, with a motto that emphasizes God, Home, and Country.
Opponents of the bylaws change argue that it contradicts their religious beliefs and scientific understanding of biological sex. They reject the notion of gender fluidity and are determined to fight for the preservation of their women’s society.
While some members have already resigned in protest, others have decided to stay and work towards rescinding the amendment. They believe that their consolidated efforts will eventually lead to a change in the national board’s decision.
The DAR members are descendants of Revolutionary War patriots, and they see themselves in a new battle for the soul of their society and their country. They remain committed to honoring their ancestors and protecting their First Amendment rights.
In the words of Revolutionary War Captain John Parker, “Don’t fire unless fired upon, but if they mean to have a war, let it begin here.”
