Description
Autonomy, as a concept, has typically been associated with the term "self-governance", but there has been many inconsistencies in a true definition among many philosophers. However, it is Thomas Hill's definitions which provides a well-rounded understanding and summarizes the different accounts of autonomy. Between descriptive and normative accounts, it's issues like gender and gendering which doesn't hold up one of those as it gets away from the true intent of autonomy. I will argue that gendering ultimately undermines autonomy and most importantly, autonomy, as a right, must be upheld in everyone and to undermine it is morally wrong.
