From what I'm seeing here, and in the linked information, the idea of T for transgender may have been a cause begin in the west coast. On the east coast the T was originally to include transvestites.

In Philly area we started hearing about adding a T about 1995, or so. And it was to represent transvestites, straight cross dressers, Drag Queens, and Drag Kings.

I was down south when I heard the T now stood for transgender people. This was about 2005.
