The origins of this term does not come in the 1990’s. It’s from the time of Slavery in the south. The plantation owners would gather together and bring their slave mistresses. While the plantation owners would talk shop the “mistresses” would have tea and gossip.

This was popularized by the drag queen Lady Chablis in "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, who also considered herself transgendered.
Lady Chablis: "The fact that I'm a beautiful woman is clear . . . but the fact that I have a penis, well, that's my T, that's my Truth."
