9 months on T!

Coming up to my 1 year anniversary (Oct 20) and I feel like I've genuinely never been happier in my life, looking back in my camera roll over the years I have almost no selfies but this year I feel like i'm taking new ones every single day :) I'm so excited thinking about how I will continue to see changes in the years to come, though hopefully that moustache will fill in sooner rather than later lol

Curious about these voice changes

So I'm around 9 month on testosterone now (yay!) and my voice has dropped significantly starting around the 5 or 6 month mark, I'm super pleased with how deep it is and hopefully it will continue to drop. Now what I'm curious about is that I literally *cannot* do a high pitched voice no matter how hard I try, like pre-T i would do a super squeaky voice as part of a joke I do with my friends and now when I try my voice just completely cuts off and only air comes out. I also have been to a concert since this started happening and tried to scream and cheer in support and again, the same thing with my voice cutting off :( This isn't really that big of an issue for me, and definitely doesn't outweigh all the pros of how my voice sounds, but I haven't seen anyone else talking about it and wanted to make my own discussion. Has anyone else dealt with this? Would I be able to voice train to get that full range back and do a high pitched voice? I've tried doing my own exercises already but to no avail. Once again, I won't be too upset if this is something permanent, just curious
