I don't know the answer but what I suspect is that your skin oil has been reduced and the without the skin oil to hold the hair down, it has become more visible. I always have had very oily skin and just after a shower, the peach fuzz on my face is more visible than latter in the day.

It was probably an oversight from before starting.  However, it does happen to cis women as well.  It happens...  there's always hair removal if you don't wind up losing it down the line when you've been on E for a couple years.
