While binary participants reported a stronger desire for GAHT compared to non-binary participants (X2(1, N = 93) = 32.63, P &amp;lt; .001), the groups did not differ in their desire for GAS (X2(1, N = 247) = 0.68, P = .411). Binary and non-binary participants reported similar reasons for wanting treatment, mostly related to body and\/or gender incongruence and gender affirmation. In terms of not wanting treatment, the non-binary group reported their gender identity as the most important reason, while the binary group mostly mentioned possible medical complications. The majority of both groups had an unfulfilled treatment desire (69% of binary participants and 64.5% of non-binary participants), which was related to lower levels of general life satisfaction (P &amp;lt; .001) and sexual satisfaction (P = .005), more anxiety (P = .006) and transgender-specific body image worries (P &amp;lt; .001), and larger sexual self-concept discrepancies (P &amp;lt; .001 for actual and\/or ideal, P &amp;lt; .001 for actual and\/or ought).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Clinical implications<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Systemic barriers to GAMT (especially GAS) should be removed not only for binary but also for non-binary identifying transgender individuals to decrease the discrepancy between treatment desire and actually seeking treatment.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Strengths &amp; limitations<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study was the first to systematically investigate differences in treatment desire motives between binary and non-binary transgender individuals, while also showing the possible negative consequences of an unfulfilled treatment desire.
