These would be "gender-critical" (or "TERF" or British--sorry, not necessarily that last one) students.
It feels like they'd be the ones violating the non-aggression principle here. They'd be offended at the idea that acknowledging the concept of gender as distinct from sex to ease trans students' dysphoria runs against their concept of gender as alloyed to sex (which isn't a thing that causes dysphoria to them; it's just a political stance). Dysphoria is a thing that causes people to hate, and sometimes kill, themselves. Political objections don't do that, to my knowledge.
