Little et al (2013). Oral contraceptive use in women changes preferences for male facial masculinity and is associated with partner facial masculinity Psychoneuroendocrinology. 2013 Sep.

Abstract

Millions of women use hormonal contraception and it has been suggested that such use may alter mate preferences. To examine the impact of oral contraceptive (pill) use on preferences, we tested for within-subject changes in preferences for masculine faces in women initiating pill use. Between two sessions, initiation of pill use significantly decreased women's preferences for male facial masculinity but did not influence preferences for same-sex faces. To test whether altered preference during pill use influences actual partner choice, we examined facial characteristics in 170 age-matched male partners of women who reported having either been using or not using the pill when the partnership was formed. Both facial measurements and perceptual judgements demonstrated that partners of women who used the pill during mate choice have less masculine faces than partners of women who did not use hormonal contraception at this time. Our data (A) provide the first experimental evidence that initiation of pill use in women causes changes in facial preferences and (B) documents downstream effects of these changes on real-life partner selection. Given that hormonal contraceptive use is widespread, effects of pill use on the processes of partner formation have important implications for relationship stability and may have other biologically relevant consequences.

What do they mean by less masculine? Do they mean less well-developed facial structure or do they mean attractive but feminine-looking faces?

that's why the trans trend increased and why the efeminated male faces became sort of a trend

This has been known for a long time, that women on birth control are more attracted to "weaker" men that they would not find attractive under normal circumstances due to birth control. That's why it's common for women who were in birth control the entire relationship suddenly lose attraction to their SO when they decide to have a baby and she stops taking birth control.

Very late comment but also when women are ovulating, they prefer more masculine faces.

Very interesting how hormones chance your sexual attraction...Could it explain sexual orientation even further? We need more studies about this.
