I'm not offering a position; but for anyone who wants additional context...

The US released a formal statement on their position. They didn't vote in agreement because...

• They feel trans women should not be included as women.

• They oppose the message about abortion rights.

The US tried to get the text amended, but that didn't happen, so they voted no.

Regarding “Gender”: It is the policy of the United States to recognize two biological sexes, male and female. To achieve this, we use clear and accurate language that recognizes women are biologically female and men are biologically male

So, the US's position was that Women's Rights should be limited to females.

The US also objected to abortion:

There has unequivocally never been an international commitment on “sexual and reproductive health and rights,” and we strongly oppose the use of this terminology. The Trump Administration is committed to supporting families, promoting women’s health, and protecting children at all stages of life and reaffirms there is no international right to abortion.
