Michael Knowles went viral after he exposed how a group of transgender activists have attempted to infiltrate the historic female group Daughters of the American Revolution [DAR] in what he called the “most absurd target yet” for leftist activists.
In a lengthy thread on X on Monday, the Daily Wire host wrote about how “sexually confused men are invading yet another women’s group,” this time the DAR.
“It’s perhaps their most absurd target yet: a group grounded in genetics … Happily, members are channeling the rebellious spirit of their forebears and fighting back,” Knowles wrote in the post that’s been viewed a million times. “DAR bylaws have always been clear. It’s for the daughters — female descendants — of Revolutionary patriots. As a genealogical organization, DAR takes biological integrity so seriously that only biological descendants — i.e., not adopted family members — are eligible for membership.”

“A small group of the DAR’s leadership now appears to believe that men can be women,” he added. “They even contend that such men have always been allowed in the DAR. According to an internal FAQ document, members are expected to pretend that ‘transgender women’ have always been eligible and that their inclusion took place ‘organically,’ as if implicit in bylaws written before ‘transgenderism’ was even thought to exist.”
“Multiple DAR members reached out to the Daily Wire with concerns about being prevented from even criticizing the potential policy change. One cited an alleged policy on ‘circularization’ that she felt discouraged members from alerting media or organizing opposition via email,” Knowles continued.
He also provided examples of the attempts some in the group had made to stop these men, but so far, their efforts have been thwarted after a proposed amendment to “the bylaws to clarify the definition of ‘woman'” was rejected.

The Daily Wire host noted that the Sons of the American Revolution [SAR] exists, but how “these men don’t want to join” the group. “They want to pretend they aren’t sons at all. They pretend to be women and demand that women welcome them into a private women’s membership club. It’s disordered and immoral.”
The thread noted that a group of daughters haven’t given up the fight, “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,” Knowles wrote. “Chapters have until October 1 to protect the DAR from trans infiltration by endorsing a proposal to amend the bylaws. So far, over 50 chapters have indicated their plan to support. Members can reach out to [email protected] for more information.”
“If successful, the Board of Management will be forced to respond by February,” Knowles continued. “With the strong objection of a growing number of chapters nationwide, it will only become more difficult for leadership to push this radical agenda. We’ll be watching.”
Reading through comments to Knowles’ thread, several people blasted DAR for the move — the host of “The Megyn Kelly Show” podcast, Megyn Kelly, being one of them.
“Men pretending to be women are coming for the Daughters of the American Revolution now,” Kelly wrote to her millions of followers. “If you are a member – [please] read this short thread & email the address provided to SUPPORT THE POLICY AMENDMENT that will keep women’s spaces female-only.”
