The daughters of the American Revolution vote to continue to allow members of transgender persons

Historical Daughters of the American Revolution (Dar) The organization denied the proposal of local members to limit biological males who identify themselves as transgender from joining its ranks over the weekend.

Gift, which currently It allows for males of Natale In order to join his chapters throughout the country, he pointed to politics as a necessity for a gift to maintain his status of exempt tax. The Texas local chapter challenged this assumption with the help of the Center for US Freedom (Cal), but the National Board of Management (NBU) dismissed a proposal to national withdrawal acts on Saturday.

Laura McDonald, member of Martha Laird’s chapter, who suggested a change, said Fox News Digital That she was disappointed but not discouraged.

“The rejection of the National Committee for Management our proposal to define a woman in our sub -artic acts unfortunately confirms what we knew all the time – that the leadership occupies a political attitude that is not based on fear of loss of 501 (C) (3) non -profit status,” she said . “We are in charge of the US Freedom Center for their help in exposing this truth. We will continue to fight for the truth.”

In January, Cal compiled a letter to a gift to leadership, claiming that a policy for excluding natal men, including men of Natal who identified themselves as women, from eligibility for membership and lawfully and would not endanger the status of DAR as a non-profit organization exempt from taxes, is said Memorandum examined Fox News Digital. In September 2024, Chapter of Martha Laird, together with the approval of 11 other chapters, filed a proposed amendment of the trigger act in order to ban all men, including predicated men, to give a gift to membership of eligibility.

“The woman is defined as a biological female person in conception, who naturally appears X chromosomes, excluding Y chromosome and certified as a female or girl in the original native list,” said the proposed trial act. “NSDAR and his chapters cannot discriminate against the applicant who is eligible.”

McDonald said her chapter has another proposal ready to vote at the next meeting in March.

“The language of a new proposal will adapt the concerns he addressed to NBU in their rejection letter,” she said. “We look forward to this process in the coming year – our goal is to renew our iconic, historical and once prestigious American institution founded by women, for women and we intend to see it.”

According to a copy of a letter of rejection divided from Fox News Digital, NBU found that the proposed amendments “were not suitable for involvement in the sub -final acts and not in the best interests of the company,” adding that “rejected the proposed changes in full” will not forward the 134th continental congress.

The letter also states that the gift will continue to rely on his “long -standing policy” to accept the national certificate of birth of the leaflets and will not introduce requests for chromosomal DNA tests to establish a sex of the applicant.

“We will continue to do this every year until we at least get a vote at the continental congress,” McDonald previously said Fox News Digital. “It’s the only fair and transparent way to get rid of it.”

Cal, on behalf of the chapter of Martha Laird Dar, claimed that the organization members have the right to exclude the first amendments to trans-idting men from eligibility.

“To the extent that state and local public accommodation statutes can be interpreted in order to ask Dar to recognize trans-idting men, such a request would probably break the gift of amendment to amendment if the gift found that such a request would interfere with its ability The progress of progressing his intended message, “writes the memorandum.

In addition, they claim that although non -profit organizations risk losing their non -profit status if they act in a way that is unlawful or opposite to “national public policy”, it is unlikely that a gift, a genealogical association that limits membership on natal female, violates national public policies .

“As far as we know, the IRS has never recalled the non-profit status of an organization based on gender on the basis of the fact that the organization has excluded trans-imentification men from eligibility for membership,” the Memorandum reports. “Furthermore, the gift is currently excluding men who do not identify themselves as transgender from eligibility.”

The gift was founded in 1890 as a place for women who share their commitment to honoring the revolutionary war patriots and promoted historical preservation because they could not join their male colleagues in the sons of the American Revolution. Members of the famous must follow their vine to those who have helped fight in the war for American independence.

“The fact that we excluded men from our founder … We needed to lose the status of a non -profit organization a long time ago or we never got it to begin with,” McDonald said.

Former Member Dar -a brand Becker talked to Fox News Digital About her resignation from the organization in protest after the Amendment -listed Amendment, they cannot “distinguish the applicant who is eligible on the basis of race, religion, sexual orientation, national origin, age, disability or any other characteristic protected law” criticism that criticism Biological men who identify themselves as a transgender woman could be part of the group. But the gift claimed that this was already the case.

“It is a literal examples of gas, because, above all, they say to members that nothing has changed in their receipt process since we were founded in 1890, that only women fulfilled the conditions for membership,” said McDonald. “But they continue to say that a man who claims to be a woman is a woman, and therefore fulfills the conditions for membership. But if you are a man who does not claim that you are a woman, you do not meet the conditions for that membership.”

Updated language has been criticized for its ambiguity, Some members who express a mess Last year, whether it would mean that transgender women could join. In the document entitled “Answers to the Frequent Questions of Members regarding transgender women into a gift”, which was divided from Fox News Digital, the organization leadership confirmed that they were allowed members of transgender persons to join.

Ever since the organization announced the amendment during the gift of the Continental Congress in 2023, over 500 members and former members of Dar -have sent almost 3000 messages to the leadership in which it expressed dissatisfaction with the change New tolerance campaign (NTC). Members against the change claim that unless the tributes are reversed, they will be forced to split the locker rooms, toilet rooms and hotel rooms with biological males.

Becker told Fox News Digital that she and other women feel like they have been cheated, adding that it is ironic that a person can join a gift -in using a changed birth certificate when membership is conditioned by accurate biographical records. McDonald added that this is especially important because the organization did not usually allow any modified gender leaves to act as a reception verification.

“If I had adopted the girl right now, I would not be able to use her modified birth certificate to get into a gift, using my line, my biological line,” McDonald explained. “She would have to dig her original birth certificate and skip all the other hoops that other applicants do not prove their biological line.”
