Riley Gaines launches center at the Leadership Institute: It will 'fight the movement to erase women'

Former NCAA All-American swimmer Riley Gaines announces new center that advocates for protecting women's sports from transgender athletes and more on 'Hannity.'

Former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines announced the launch of "The Riley Gaines Center" at the Leadership Institute in Virginia to help fight the movement to "erase women and destroy women’s sports."

The Leadership Institute (LI), a non-profit conservative organization, said the goal of the Center is to "protect the female identity, affirm the basic biological truth that men are men and women are women and defend freedom of speech."

It will also provide support, training and resources for those who want to defend women’s identity, according to a press release from LI.

Former University of Kentucky swimmer Riley Gaines speaks at an event. 

Gaines, a 12-time All-American swimmer, told "Hannity" on Tuesday that she wished there was a similar Center around when she began speaking out against allowing biological males to compete in women’s sports. 

"The Riley Game Center is something that I wish I had when I began to speak up and when I faced the humiliation of the locker room and giving up our trophies for a photo op. The mission is to empower and train and provide resources to students, athletes, parents, coaches, medical professionals, other allies who want to help in the fight to defend women, defend freedom of speech, actually, too. And women's sports, of course," she said. 

"And so it will be a training program, we'll be doing school board training, putting conservative speakers on college campuses, which I think is really important to engage younger people
