Rachel Simon, who attempts “therapy” to “transition” children as young as 4 years old, has tried to drive a wedge of mistrust between children and parents on questions of sexuality, claiming “homophobic and trans–phobic ideas from parents can absolutely be a problem,” together with “inescapable judgment.” She claimed many parents are “misinformed” and “biased,” especially if they are “religious.”

Simon works in Philadelphia and styles herself “a cis, white, queer, Jewish woman.” On her website she states, “I strive in and out of clinical work to be allied to populations including: queer, trans, non-binary, poly, kinky, fat/HAES, BIPOC, sex work, HIV+, religious and non religious minorities, immigrant, and other marginalized populations.”
Her book, The Every Body Book: The Lgbtq+ Inclusive Guide for Kids About Sex, Gender, Bodies, and Families, is an illustrated sexually explicit “gender-inclusive” LGBTQ sex-ed guide written to introduce children as early as possible to sexually deviant lifestyles. It includes descriptions of homosexual sex acts, as well as illustrations of private parts and of pregnant “males.”
In a podcast titled “Gender 101 – Beliefs about Bodies with Rachel Simon,” Simon explains that she encourages children to question the social norms, constructs, and pressures surrounding sexuality, telling them they don’t have to follow any rules.

Simon’s attempts to foster in children a mistrust of their parents run the risk of entering into criminal territory if children become exposed to sexually explicit material without their parents’ knowledge or consent. Her book also involves her in what Pennsylvania law defines as the criminal dissemination of obscene and other sexual materials to minors in the Pennsylvania Statutes, Title 18, Crimes and Offenses § 5903. (c):
§5903. Obscene and other sexual materials and performances.
(c) Dissemination to minors.–No person shall knowingly disseminate by sale, loan or otherwise explicit sexual materials to a minor. “Explicit sexual materials,” as used in this subsection, means materials which are obscene or:
(1) any picture, photograph, drawing, sculpture, motion picture film, videotape or similar visual representation or image of a person or portion of the human body which depicts nudity, sexual conduct, or sadomasochistic abuse and which is harmful to minors; or
(2) any book, pamphlet, magazine, printed matter however reproduced, or sound recording which contains any matter enumerated in paragraph (1), or explicit and detailed verbal descriptions or narrative accounts of sexual excitement, sexual conduct, or sadomasochistic abuse and which, taken as a whole, is harmful to minors.
The statute also indicates that violation of subsection (c) constitutes a felony of the second or third degree.
(2) Any person who violates subsection (c) or (d) is guilty of a felony of the third degree. Violation of subsection (c) or (d) is a felony of the second degree if the offender has previously been convicted of a violation of subsection (c) or (d).
The penalty for a third degree felony can include imprisonment up to seven years, and for a second degree felony up to ten years, according Title 30, § 923. Classification of offenses and penalties. (a):
(8) For a felony of the third degree, a fine of not less than $2,500 nor exceeding $15,000, or imprisonment not exceeding seven years, or both.
(9) For a felony of the second degree, a fine of not less than $5,000 nor more than $25,000, or imprisonment not exceeding ten years, or both.
