Probit model, include intercept or not

Hi everybody,

I'm estimating this probit model with two independent variables: X,Y. When I estimate the model including an intercept, Y is not significant, while it's highly significant if I don't include the intercept (X is always significant). How should I interpret this result? is there an argument for not including the intercept?

Thank you in advance,

There is no argument for not including the intercept.
