DAR Votes to Accept Trans-Women as Members - We're Done Here
[WashingtonTimes]
  • The Daughters of the American Revolution rejected a resolution on transgender membership.

  • The resolution aimed to bar male-born candidates from joining the organization.

  • Members voted 1,481 to 984 against the proposal at the 135th Continental Congress.

The Daughters of the American Revolution beat back a membership uprising over transgender membership, rejecting a resolution that would have barred male-born candidates from being admitted to the venerable women’s patriotic organization.
DAR members defeated the resolution, which would have clarified that applicants must be “born female” to be eligible for membership, at a Friday vote of the 135th Continental Congress at Memorial Continental Hall in the District.

Introduced by a cohort of members known as Daughters Advocating for Restoration, the proposal lost by a 1,481-984 vote of the assembly, according to Laura McDonald, a leader of the resistance group and treasurer of the DAR’s Martha Laird Chapter in Mount Pleasant, Texas.

An estimated five male-to-female transgender candidates have joined DAR chapters in recent years, spurring thousands of resignations and an internal battle over whether “daughters” include biological males who identify as women.

Another example of why membership should be reviewed and questioned before being accepted.

4 I've worked with a few of their members in commemoration projects across different states and this really surprises me. The ones I've talked with have been extremely traditional women. That leaves me wondering if this wasn't part of some "planned takeover" composed of individuals joining the DAR solely to corrupt the institution. You certainly don't bump into them in the organization's more public and normal activities.

Of course. Just like Communists go to West Point and narco gang members join the Army, though the latter do it more to bring back the skills and training rather than to suborn from within.

7 To be fair, one of my fellow PTA moms had been presented by her mother to the DAR at sixteen. She put up with it until she went off to college, then never went back. But she was a hippy California girl by nature and nurture, a master gardener specializing in regional native plants despite having worked the sales side of a Boston white shoe investment company until she married and settled down — which meant charming rich, older gentlemen over expensive expense account lunches into putting their money wherever the quants in the back office told her it should go that day.

9 Wait a minute wait a minute wait a minute! Are you telling me that women got together and voted on something and the outcome turned out to be sorta messed up and completely goofy?
