I Am a Single Mom With Two Kids

Please give advice I don't know how to handle this.

I'm a mother of two twelve year old's, one boy and one girl. I have been a single mom for about three years now and am in a situation where I need advice. About two months ago at a glance I noticed that my son had one of his sister pairs of underwear on. I said, "Is that your sisters underwear, I see?" in a teasing tone. He turned around nervous, pulled up the back of his pants fully covering the underwear and said, "Please don't tell her all my underwear is in the wash." I then said, "I won't but make sure your sister doesn't see those or she'll do a lot worse than make it know your wearing girls underwear." He left the room.

Over the following the last month I noticed a sudden decrease in his underwear in the wash and an increase in his sisters underwear. Yesterday I saw him leaving his sisters room with something. I went in there and saw his sister sitting on the bed and I asked her, "What was your brother doing in here?", "He ahh...", "Well what was he doing in here?" I said again, "Umm..." she could get the words out, "I'm going to ask you one last time and If you don't give me an answer...".

"He was grabbing his underwear." I was astonished, "He does almost every morning." I said, "Every morning?" "He says that he likes the way they are cut and feel, so I choose a five pairs I don't wear and keep them in here for him." She was a little scared, because she clearly wasn't sure if she was doing the right or wrong thing. "When did this start?" "Little more than a month ago. Am I in trouble?"

"No its fine just keep doing what you've been doing, act like I wasn't here this morning?" I walked out of the room scratching my eyebrow thinking to myself -my son wears girls underwear-.

Please give me advice I have no idea how to handle this. Do I support him with this, or do I try and stop him.
My concern really isn’t that he’s wearing her undies, but if the kids at school catch on. He may just like the feel of them. I’m not sure I would tell him to stop, but maybe he could just wear them at home instead of to school or in public? Kids are so curious and other kids can be soooo mean.
So I would say,”I know you like the feel of them and they feel more comfortable, but my concern isn’t that you like wearing them, but what might happen if others at school were to find out. Kids can be mean and cruel. Maybe you could just wear them around here?” There are truely some kids and even adults who could be incredibly mean. That is all that worries me.
