I do not think there is again according to the research I have read, an obvious health advantage and for many breeds there are some very concerning health dis-advantages particularly by breed type.
The word de-sexing to me is being used to weaponize your statement/sentiments toward an antitspay/neutering agenda. Do you know how many woman have had their uterus removed for medical reasons? At 41 I had a total hysterectomy I do not consider myself any less of a female than before my surgery. As a matter of fact, I like the idea of not having a monthly heat any longer.
