Many State and National Officers continue to insist that the Bylaw Amendment adopted at the 132nd Continental Congress did not allow for men to be eligible members. The amendment that was adopted struck the words
“provided an applicant for chapter membership is personally acceptable to the chapter.”
and added the words
“NSDAR and its chapters may not discriminate against an eligible applicant based on race, religion, sexual orientation, national origin, age, disability, or any other characteristic protected by applicable law.”
Members who support the efforts to restore our society as founded, have never claimed that the bylaw amendment from the 132nd Continental Congress is the reason these men are eligible for membership, although a good case can be made for that.
No, our claim that men are currently on the member rolls is solely based on the President General’s Message from October of 2023, her FAQ, as well as the evidential proof found from online publications.
President General Pamela Edwards Rouse Wright said the following in her Message from October 2023…
“Some have asked if this means a transgender woman can join DAR or if this means that DAR chapters have previously welcomed transgender women? The answer to both questions is, yes. The bylaw amendment does not change that fact, and we will continue to welcome them into our Society in the future.”
She also confirmed in her FAQ that
“Transgender women have been, and continue to be, eligible for DAR membership.”
Questions remain unanswered – again, while State and National Officers insist the bylaw language adopted at the 132nd Continental Congress did not allow for men to be eligible members, during discussion and debate, the President General said that men who produce a birth certificate indicating they are female cannot be turned away.

Here's an article that explains the sad situation: https://www.foxnews.com/media/daughters-american-revolution-votes-continue-allow-transgender-members
In case you're wondering...No, the Sons of the American Revolution (SAR) doen't allow women to be members. As their name states, they are a male-only society.
Too bad a few "enlightened" females are set on destroying an XX chromosome only, Patriot/Christian organization for the sake of political correctness.
My sister is eligible. If I were to identify as a woman I could be a member too. What are the benefits?
I think they should be able to do this. To me, it’s like saying drinking at age 12 is okay, otherwise it’s age discrimination. Some things deserve to be discriminated against, just like I think the girl scouts should be for girls and boy scouts for boys.
I identify as a Lesbian... Can I join??
My sister and I are both eligible but we just have no interest in pursuing it. Especially if they are letting trannies in. 😣
There is already a group called Sons of the Revolution. You might try that.
>>>>My sister is eligible. If I were to identify as a woman I could be a member too. What are the benefits?<<<<
Yes, Andy, according to the current rules, you could be a member

Revisionists.
and they want to use the women’s bathroom.
Well, you get to wear makeup and wear nice dresses. And pee with the girls.
Proof of XX or XY to participate. No gender identity crap.
My wife’s a member and also a Colonial Dame. (For what little it’s worth, I’m a Kentucky Colonel.)
The DAR isn’t a particularly activist group, so my wife (like most members, probably) hasn’t even heard of this controversy.
But what about gender fluidity. Suppose for part of the year you identify as a woman and the other part of the year you identify as a man. Do you only need to pay 1/2 of the amount of annual dues?
My wife and I are not members, but she sets up historical displays and gives lectures and we do presentations for the DAR frequently including association meetings where people come from all across the country. I agree that most members do not seem particularly political and many likely have any no idea that there is even a controversy.
I am a member of DAR - I hope my chapter never has to deal with this f-ing bullish!t.
Those MEN can join SAR - Sons of the American Revolution.
I keep my hair short so I don't have to comb it and keep a pair of dress jeans and t-shirt in case I have to go somewhere nice where people care.
Must specify REAL women, without penises, and born that way, with xx chromosomes.
Back in-my day, there were very few men who make it through a DAR meeting without tearing their hair out and bolting for the door about half way through. Times have changed.
>>>>I am a member of DAR - I hope my chapter never has to deal with this f-ing bullish!t.<<<<
The rules change is national. The DAR currently allows men to join its chapters across the country.
>>>>Must specify REAL women, without penises, and born that way, with xx chromosomes.<<<<
The DAR is an organization grounded in genetics, making it all the more ironic that its leadership wants to ignore genetics and biology in the by-laws and in the membership.

If she’s against this slap in the face to women, I hope she’ll help us work to return the DAR’s policy back to what it was.
