The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/daughters-of-the-american-revolution-chapter-is-fighting-to-keep-men-out" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Daughters of the American Revolution</a> National Board of Management on Saturday rejected a proposal from its Texas chapter to keep trans-identifying men out of the group.
In a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=122126401004407101&amp;set=gm.1792407311544493&amp;idorvanity=1659132851538607">letter</a> to the Martha Laird Chapter, the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/daughters-of-the-american-revolution-board-to-vote-to-keep-trans-identifying-men-out" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DAR National Board of Management</a>, said it “found the proposed amendment” to prohibit all men, including trans-identifying males, from the group &#8220;not to be suitable for inclusion in the bylaws and not to be in the best interest of the Society.”
“The board rejected the proposed amendments in their entirety. The proposed amendments will not be forwarded to the 134th Continental Congress,” it added, noting it will continue to allow “state-certified birth certificates” and not base membership on “chromosomal DNA tests to establish an applicant&#8217;s sex.”
Daily Wire host Michael Knowles<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/michael-knowles-exposes-transgender-attempt-to-infiltrate-daughters-of-american-revolution"> revealed</a> — in a viral thread on <a href="https://x.com/michaeljknowles/status/1838267625962405922">X</a> — how a group of DAR members were “channeling the rebellious spirit of their forebears” by fighting back “this time building a larger, grassroots effort to affirm the original intent of the bylaws and prevent men from continuing to invade their genealogical society.”
The Daily Wire spoke to Martha Laird Chapter Recording Secretary Laura McDonald after the vote, and she said the chapter was “disappointed but not discouraged.”
“The rejection of our proposal to define a woman in our bylaws from the National Board of Management sadly confirms what we knew all along. That is a political stance the leadership is taking,” McDonald said.
“We have another proposal ready, and our chapter will vote at our next meeting in March,” she added. “The language of the new proposal will be slightly tweaked to accommodate the concerns the NBM addressed in their rejection letter.”
“We are looking forward to this process again in the coming year. Our goal is to restore our iconic, historic and once prestigious American institution founded by women, for women, and we intend to see it through,” McDonald continued.
In January, the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/texas">Texas</a> chapter decided to fight back against its national organization’s decision to allow trans-identifying males into their organization, as The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/daughters-of-the-american-revolution-chapter-is-fighting-to-keep-men-out">reported</a>.
In a letter, the chapter pushed back against a threat from its leadership that by prohibiting transgender males, the DAR would somehow lose its tax-exempt status, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/texas-daughters-american-revolution-chapter-challenges-premise-must-admit-transgender-members">Fox News</a> reported.
“Members have been told that in order to keep our nonprofit status we must allow men who submit an altered birth certificate indicating they are female to be eligible members,” a letter on the DAR <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/1659132851538607/permalink/1776056659846225/?mibextid=wwXIfr&amp;_rdr">Facebook</a> page read. “Our hope is that once members and the NBM can feel confident that our nonprofit status is not in jeopardy, they will no longer feel intimidated and vote to allow this bylaw amendment to be heard at Continental Congress.”
The vote comes after President Donald Trump signed an <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/defending-women-from-gender-ideology-extremism-and-restoring-biological-truth-to-the-federal-government/">executive order</a> stating that the United States will only recognize two genders.
