The Trans Gaelic Football player that was at the centre of a social media storm has broken her silence for the first time since the incident.
Giulia Valentino found herself front and centre of a vicious social media debate after pictures emerged of her playing in a Ladies Gaelic Football Championship match.
Valentino currently plays for the GAA's first openly LGBT Club, Na Gaeil Aeracha and the club recently captured their first bit of silverware as they beat the Na Fianna Ladies E team to win the Dublin Junior J Shield.
