Crayola Crayon Chronology— Silver Swirls". Crayola LLC . Retrieved 2009-04-08. ; re-accessed April 19, 2008 Why were the other crayons so confused and baffled on how to 'handle' or 'teach' Red when they were blind to his true color? His whole life he was told he was red. "It says red on his label." "He came that way from the factory." AKA. He was make red, therefore he must be red. His label couldn't be a mistake and he's really a different color inside. (READ: He was born a boy. His physical appearance couldn't possibly be a mistake and he's really a girl inside) His family and friends try to fix him with tape, and scarves, and encouragement to really try at being red "draw a red strawberry" "Why don't you two go our and draw a nice, round orange?". He tries, but he just can't be red and draw red things...because he's BLUE.

The joke played well in a room full of veterans, service members, and defense media types — and as the tray made its way up to us, I made a command decision.Duncan’s red crayon feels stressed and feel tired because it said in the book ‘You make me work harder than all of your other crayons.I even work in the holidays.I need a rest.’ The husband discovered that the sliding doors had been nailed shut. He got a hammer from his toolbox and began prying out the nails, one by one. I mean, no matter what Red tries to do, he colors blue. That's just him. He's blue. Even though he's in a red label. However, neither him nor any of his friends and family can understand this. Pink.Duncan can stop thinking “Pink is a girl colour bla bla bla” and start thinking “People have different opinions some boys like pink and some girls don’t like pink bla bla bla” Duncan’s red crayon feels stressed I know this because he/she says “You make work harder than all the other crayons”

The story line is about a blue crayon, who is factory labeled with a red label. No matter how hard he tries to do his best, he cannot seem to do anything right; his red drawings always end up blue. There is a whole peanut gallery of crayons that comment on his problems "He's got to press harder." "I think he's lazy." "I don't think he's very bright." "I wonder if he's really red at all--don't be silly. it says red on his label.. He came that way from the factory." Red works and works and works and fights and fights and fights being blue. Much as our society and our religions encourage transgender people to "fight their sin" and "fight their nature" and "work hard to correct yourself" and "fit in." Needless to say, this doesn't do Red the least bit of good. Let's go one more level, and I don't know if this is how it was intended by the author or not but this is how I instantly saw the book before I even opened the cover: This is a book about/for kids struggling with gender identity. As a librarian I see the subject headings that it's given and "identity (psychology)" is one, but of course it couldn't say "gender identity" because crayons don't have genders.Now, whether these people are being "kind" or "tough" on our "misbehaving" schoolboy, what they are failing to see (but what children will clearly see) is that the crayon is simply mislabeled. It's a blue crayon. It's blue. It doesn't matter that it's label says, "Red" - that doesn't change the fact that the crayon is a blue crayon and can't possibly be anything else no matter how "hard" he tries.
