Riley Gaines is a young woman on the rise. She is a warrior who has made it her personal goal in life to cancel cancel culture while fighting the good fight against the war on women in sports. No one is better equipped through personal experience to do what she is doing.

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.

Riley appeared on Sean Hannity’s show on Fox and told talked about the importance of The Riley Gaines Center.

“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 and mobilize them.”

Riley explained to Hannity that “The women’s sporting category is not a failed retirement plan for male athletes” and that’s a good way to put it. The men competing in women’s sports are men who were not good enough in men’s sports to win. So, they move over to women’s sports and that shuts out women in their own sports. It’s unfair and it’s illogical. This isn’t a science question. The science is settled on this issue. Men are stronger and faster than women. It’s biology. It is not a fair competition.

Anyone who is even a little bit interested in women’s sports should be very proud of Riley Gaines. She planned to attend dental school when she graduated from the University of Kentucky but has put that off for now. Her life was changed by her experiences as a collegiate athlete who faced the intrusion of transgender activism into women’s sports. She should be applauded as an excellent role model for younger girls coming up.
