Took a quick look: (Advocate has an article glamorizing suicide while wearing the shirt.) Seems the word has "roots in 1980's ballroom culture" refers to TW -- one of those 1950's words men used for women that feminism rejected.
Shirt was created by a designer - one of those men who hates women but makes money designing fashions for women. Advertised at Coachella. Fundraiser for Trans Lifeline.
1980's ballroom culture. Either the brief moment when ballroom dancing was competitive, people figured out it was athletic, and straight couples competed on tv. Or the dance clubs where men used to pay someone to dance with them.
