There is, though, a much better and more scientific theory for why Rudolph was teased by the other reindeer. You see, Rudolph is transsexual. Rudolph in all the original illustrations has horns at Christmas. Male reindeers shed their horns during the winter. Rudolph, right from the earliest depictions in the Montgomery Ward colouring book, has a full set of antlers. Rudolph is female.
