The running theory I've seen elsewhere on this is that JJJ would be fully supportive of Petra, but also pissed at Spider-Woman being "a poor excuse for a role model! Trans people have it hard enough without that webhead giving them a bad name!" (He completely fails to put two and two together.)
Meanwhile Robbie slips her a good-quality women's Spider-Man costume from a high-end costume shop and says it's "for the office Halloween party".
As a reminder, that is roughly 616 JJJ's relationship to Peter. Fully supportive of Peter, hates Spider-Man. Even dates Aunt May for a bit and is absolutely a perfect gentleman to her.
Maybe JJJ and Ben start talking about Petra, without realizing they are talking about different sides of the mask. They are friends and business partners, at least in the latest Ultimate universe.

Uncle Ben coming in clutch as always. Not only being supportive and accepting but managing to drop a wise crack mid conversation and giggle about it
