The Daughters of the American Revolution are in revolt because trans zealots cant leave ANYTHING alone

Last week the Daughters of the American Revolution marked America’s 250th anniversary not by honoring the nation’s Founders, but by miring itself in an unnecessary woke battle that threatens the organization’s very future. Delegates at the DAR’s 135th Continental Congress in Washington, DC, this past weekend defeated a member-driven attempt to limit membership to those “born female” — that is, to actual daughters.The vote means the group’s leaders will get their way: They can now open membership to anyone who considers themselves to be female. The members’ resolution failed by a vote of 1,481 to 984 after a bitter procedural fight that many attendees say was engineered to produce exactly that outcome.The Daughters, as they’re known, are women who can document direct descent from a patriot of the American Revolution.It’s a women-only service organization that has offered leadership and educational opportunities to women since 1890.For a century-plus, the DAR’s very name has described both who its members are and why they belong.It’s difficult to imagine a more straightforward membership standard than one rooted in genealogy and biological reality.Yet all that has now been thrown into question over what members estimate is a grand total of between two and five transgender members — out of 190,000 — who call themselves “Transdaughters.”The voting process itself only deepened the divide.The congress’ initial vote was scotched before it was counted, when opponents of the measure claimed to have seen evidence of cheating.That launched a lengthy and convoluted second vote that required thousands of women to cast ballots one at a time — in a process that stretched for roughly 12 hours.Delegates, many of them elderly, were effectively confined to the convention hall with only two bathroom breaks and no food service if they wanted their votes to count. Consumed by this single issue, convention organizers canceled luncheon events, dis...
