How can I help my brother???

Hi,
So I think my little brother (LB) might be a ****, and I was hoping someone here would be able to give me some advice on how best to support him.
He keeps stealing my mum's and my clothes and wearing them in his room. We've both made it clear that we don't care if he wants to wear feminine clothes, just can he stop nicking ours please. We've tried to suggest shopping trips to get him some stuff of his own, but he gets really defensive about it and clams up.
I found more of my dresses in his room, so I'm going to suggest looking at online sites tonight (I think his problem with the shopping trip is what if people he knows see him?)
But how can I help him without him feeling pressured to come out and to let him know that it's okay to be himself and that we'll always support him?

have you thought about maybe buying him a dress similar to yours - for him. So he gets a dress/peice of clothe that he hasnt nicked from you and its also telling him that you accept it and support him & may encorage him to be more open to you and would show that its okay and you want to support
