Sophie Cunningham supporters organized the first rally in support od the star to take place outside the United States on Tuesday.

Canadian powerlifting champion April Hutchinson led the seventh Sophie Cunningham rally on Tuesday night in Toronto – the first to take place outside of the U.S.

A crowd of Cunningham supporters gathered outside of Scotiabank Arena ahead of the Indiana Fever's win against the Toronto Tempo. Supporters were seen wearing XX-XY Athletics T-shirts.

Hutchinson told Fox News Digital it was all Cunningham supporters, until a small crowd of around five people wearing pro-transgender messaging exchanged words with the Cunningham crowd.

"Only about five were wearing protect trans kids and protect the dolls t shirts, [they] walked by and said that our signs were disrespectful," Hutchinson said.

Hutchinson also credited Toronto police for helping ensure the safety of the rallygoers.

"The Toronto police contacted me this morning and wanted details about the rally to ensure our safety," Hutchinson said.

However, a disagreement between Cunningham supporters and local police broke out. A large mobile billboard that featured Cunningham and messaging by Martina Navratilova addressing fairness in women's sports, and other athletes, prompted police to issue tickets.
