Explore in some detail how Young’s analysis of feminine embodiment and the analysis of blindness (e.g., the case of Daniel Kish) in the Invisibilia podcast relate to this notion of “relational autonomy.”

In her review article on hate speech, Rae Langton claims that autonomy—or the capacity to control one’s own life—has a relational dimension: “what options are visible to you, and what autonomous choices are available to you, will depend on the conceptual resources and self-understandings available to you, all of which can be constrained by hate speech itself. Our autonomy is constrained by the social meaning of the options we have, which in turn is given in part by the speech of those around us.” Explore in some detail how Young’s analysis of feminine embodiment and the analysis of blindness (e.g., the case of Daniel Kish) in the Invisibilia podcast relate to this notion of “relational autonomy.” To what extent do you think that publicly accessible labels, stereotypes, and expectations constrain people’s identities and affect their capacities? What, if anything, can be done about it?
