Check `man 7 Xserver` to verify the option needed. You might also have to
check the xserverrc file (I don't recall where it is offhand and can't
really check right now, but startx is a shell script and the default
xserverrc will be set near the top) to see if it is overriding the option.
In that case you could copy the xserverrc to ~/.xserverrc (make sure it's
chmod +x) and edit that copy to force nolisten tcp, or for multiple users
you'd edit the master xserverrc but may need to remember to re-edit after
system updates.
