The Concerned Women for America (CWA) organization has drafted a Presidential Promise to American Women and is urging 2024 presidential candidates to sign the document as a commitment to support biological women, according to Breitbart.
CWA President and CEO Penny Nance noted the purpose of this campaign saying, “If you don’t get it as a politician, you’re going to lose.”
She further stated, “It is a biological fact that there are only two [sexes]. Yet the Biden Administration is pretending like that is a frivolous idea — and it is to the point where now there is tension between biological women and men who want our trophies and want our scholarships.”
This week, female athlete Macy Petty posted about the issue on Twitter. She wrote, “Gov. Cooper vetoed girls’ sports protections in NC today,” and acknowledged another female athlete who suffered severe injuries due to competing with a biological male.

He is fighting for a NC where more girls have stories like @paytonmcnabb_…
Severe head and neck injuries because politicians let ideology trump her safety.
Save girls’ sports. @CWforA @YWforA
In April, North Carolina high school volleyball player Payton McNabb met with state lawmakers to address injuries caused by transgender competitors, per the Washington Examiner.
Petty’s Tweet criticized North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper’s decision to veto HB 574.
Gov. Cooper stated on his website, “We don’t need politicians inflaming their political culture wars by making broad, uninformed decisions about an extremely small number of vulnerable children that are already handled by a robust system that relies on parents, schools and sports organizations. Republican governors in other states have vetoed similar bills because they hurt their states’ reputation and economy and because they are neither fair nor needed.”
Nance further explained concerns over the issue in her Breitbart interview, stating, “Then there are even more difficult issues, like women who are…being put in prison with biological men, many of whom are sexual predators. So there is real fallout to this horrible idea that lacks common sense, and it puts women and girls at risk.”
She described concerns regarding gender ideology as “an issue that women across the political spectrum are upset about.”
CWA celebrated former President Donald Trump’s support of their pledge after he signed the document on June 29th, per their website.
Nance said, “You’re committing to, as the president, in every single way, both in domestic and foreign policy, uphold biological truth and not disadvantage women, and to not export this wrong-thinking ideology into other countries via the State Department.”
She went on, “So, this is not a little thing. It has very big implications.”
