Tips for Jewish allies to trans Jews:

Don't comment about which traditionally gendered Mitzvot we choose to take on or not do.

Our relationships with Judaism is complicated and intertwined with our trans experience.

Some of us still keep traditionally gendered Mitzvot associated with our AGAB. Some of us don't.

Some of us choose to take on traditionally gendered Mitzvot that align with our gender identity. Some of us don't.

Affirm us when we show love for the Mitzvot we do and for our Judaism.

And maybe you'll also learn that these gendered Mitzvot aren't as binary as you thought and that Jews have been practicing a mixture of both for a long time, trans or not.
