After they allowed men dressing like women into the Daughters of the American Revolution in 2023, the DAR finally read their own history.
They were created in response to the Sons of the American Revolution, which did not allow women to join.
The irony is staggering.
The resolution, provided to the Daily Signal, argues that the bylaws, which state that eligibility only applies to women, “should be interpreted in accordance with the intention of the society at the time the bylaw was adopted.” There is no question that DAR’s founders in 1890 did not envision men identifying as women as eligible for membership.
In relevant part, the resolution states:
Resolved, That in Article III, Section 1 of the Bylaws, the term ‘woman’ shall be understood to clearly mean a woman who was born female, and therefore, individuals who were born male shall not be eligible for membership; transgender women shall not be eligible for membership; and men who have their birth certificates changed from male to female shall not be eligible for membership.
I’d have at least two stars with the DAR (meaning I’m descended from two people who fought in the Revolutionary War). Never thought to join.
Maybe if they come to their senses, I might.
