DEPR: tz_convert in the Timestamp constructor

doc/source/whatsnew/v0.24.0.rst

@@ -1036,6 +1036,7 @@ Deprecations
 - Constructing a :class:`TimedeltaIndex` from data with ``datetime64``-dtyped data is deprecated, will raise ``TypeError`` in a future version (:issue:`23539`)
 - The ``keep_tz=False`` option (the default) of the ``keep_tz`` keyword of
   :meth:`DatetimeIndex.to_series` is deprecated (:issue:`17832`).
+- Timezone converting a tz-aware ``datetime.datetime`` or :class:`Timestamp` with :class:`Timestamp` and the ``tz`` argument is now deprecated. Instead, use :meth:`Timestamp.tz_convert` (:issue:`23579`)
