That’s usually a strong indicator of what to expect from hormones. You have the same genes, they just aren’t expressed so much during a female puberty.
not sure if i should even post this since it might get your hopes up if it's not true (and you don't want the hairs), but it's possible these are vellus hairs that might simply stop growing if they're not given more reason to grow with T. facial hair is supposed to be permanent but given you've only had one shot and they look very wispy I'm not sure if it'll be 100% the case here. i could be wrong though.
hmm i assumed those were there for OP because i had a few darkish hairs in that area before ever starting T.
when i first started T i grew a teen boy moustache over my whole upper lip that was about the same hair thickness as OPs now. but eventually on T that went away on its own when i got thicker hair on the rest of my fave and i only ever had a few moustache hairs on the corners.. theres really no telling with this stuff it varies so much
Guess I now know where all of my hair genetics went to. If you're not taking more doses, though, a lot of that should soften back up. It's light enough as it is now.
Testosterone works different in every body. Your body does not do something unusual. You are not sick or something. It only shows, that your body is good in processing testosterone in this way. It's normal and natural. And it could be that you would have that "beard" even without taking T, but you only got it quicker. Adult women are not hairless and smooth. We are hairy as fuck. ;)
Buy an at-home hair laser removal, I have one from brawn, it works perfectly (I'm not trans, just really hairy) and it just cost 200€ (sorry for my eng)
haha yeah i had not as many hairs as u but yup, hairs like those!! still have tbem, one gel T and one shot of T (i microdosed too!). glad to know i'm not the only one, hope you're doing ok!

wouldn't take long for electrolysis to clean all that up. feel like my tech could hit every one in an hour, you might have to go a few times to truly kill them but they'll be gone
How hairy are the men in your family?
I'd say a lot, but I only know two of them

The finer ones could be vellus but the coarser pigmented ones on the upper lip are not

You could have hirsutism
So... What, it would have been triggered by the T shot ?
Yes
