Okay, there's definitely some weirdness happening under the hood here.
Restrict Opposite Gender is the ONLY way this works.
If I flag a different item as DefaultForBodyTypeMale, both girls and boys use it even if it's only flagged for Male Gender and Masculine Fashion. The game doesn't appear to be differentiating Body Type for children, maybe because they both use the same uni___ bodies? It ONLY appears to be acknowledging the Gender.
If I remove the new DFBTMale item and simply flag that one blue underwear as ROGender ENABLED in an override, the blue briefs properly appear on the boys and the blue underwear properly appears on the girls.
Flagging the blue briefs as ROGender ENABLED in an override should work as well because whatever is in the Mods folder will override what the game is using, so it will force the game to use the blue briefs for the boys while blocking it for girls in a vice versa way.
I don't like ROGender flags because EAxis keeps screwing them up. For older sims, Teen and up, if you've got a Female/Masculine Frame sim or a Male/Feminine Frame sim, ROGender ENABLED forces you to wear the clothing for the "Gender", not the "Frame", which causes visual warping in different areas of the body because mismatched gender meshes don't play nice. All the reports about clothes warping necks and crotches is this; it's incorrect PartFlags.
I have never, in all the override fixes I've done so far, seen this occur with Teen+ clothing including DFBT<gender> flagged clothing. This is seems specific to Child and maybe younger ages because they use uni___ bodies.
I'm glad I saw this thread. I'm gonna have to keep it in mind to check Child and younger clothes to ensure they're functioning as intended cause I'm doing override mods for every content release to fix the incorrect PartFlags EAxis keeps giving us.
Cheers!
UPDATE: ROGender ENABLE the briefs instead. It's a separate item that's already AFR DISABLED and it has the desired effect of forcing the game to apply the briefs to the boys while leaving the underwear on the girls like it's already configured to but not doing Because Reasons™.
Double cheers! Chairs squared! <cackles maniacally> Now then, back to me figuring out how to squash the tummy bloat nonsense that EAxis insists on using.

So they changed it, didn't bother to check it, and now can't be bothered to fix it by simply ticking the box that was ticked and tacking it onto a patch.
This is the exact opposite of what they did to the fingernails a few years back when they added ROGender flags where their weren't any and gender-locked the nails instead of frame-locking them like it was before when it was working perfectly. At least in that instance it only took them some MONTHS to revert it, not YEARS as with this.
If EAxis reads this, y'all need to ROGender the underwear, not the briefs (as in my picture), because I assume in the game files the underwear ID puts it either before or after the briefs and that's why it's overriding the DefaultForBodyTypeMale flag on the briefs.
Honestly, how long does it take to simply open up a file, tick a box, tap save and slap it into the "next patch" folder?
We can mod here on PC/Mac but console-rs can't. We're all paying customers. It don't matter if the content was released 4 days ago or 10 years ago, it's still being sold and y'all still want us to buy it. C'mon, it's simple fixes.
