@Crayola4321 I just wanted to mention that the binder is actually under Tanks, not bras, and is available for both masculine and feminine frames. It doesn't appear to have any effect on breast size for either type of frame though, whether the frame matches the gender or not. So perhaps the intent is more "this sim wears a binder and has breast size X" rather than "with this outfit, this sim is currently wearing a binder, which reduces their default X breast size by percent Y."
I'm not trying to make a statement on what the correct or most accurately representative design choice would be, only an observation.
@puzzlezaddictThank you! I really could not find it, but now I know where to look! I'll update my post with screenies of this! I appreciate what you are saying, that the binder might not be intended to actually reduce breast size in normal game play, and I also thought this might be the case.
I still think it should be changed. I think people who wear binders would expect to see what they would irl, a significant reduction in breast size, and be able to see breasts on their sims when they're not using a binder, like they would irl. I don't know much about it either, but from what I understand, gender dysphoria and transitioning, like how much and how fast, is different for different people.

It has limitations, you're right. But there's something a player can do.
In CAS, you can choose Male (gender identity) with Female frame (gender assigned at birth), like this your sim can wear a binder without seeing the breasts, the inverse of the picture below (I did it for another thread on top surgery scars)
