The TLDR is Vogue is consolidating Teen Vogue into a column section of Vogue rather than keeping it an independent newsroom owned by Vogue, ousting Teen Vogue's current EIC, and refocusing Teen Vogue's remaining team on "career advice."
Teen Vogue is joining Vogue.com, a transition that’s part of a broader push to expand the Vogue ecosystem. The title will remain a distinct editorial property, with its own identity and mission; sitting under the Vogue umbrella will provide a more unified reader experience across titles. Chloe Malle, Vogue’s head of editorial content, who was appointed to the role in September, will now oversee Teen Vogue. Editor-in-chief Versha Sharma will be leaving the company. “I remember when Teen Vogue launched, I read every page on the bus home from cross-country practice. I loved it then and I love and respect it now and am committed to continuing and supporting its point of view and sensibility,” says Malle. As a dedicated pillar on Vogue, Teen Vogue will focus its content on career development, cultural leadership and other issues that matter most to young people, according to the publication.

You're right!

The article touches on how some trans people need HRT.

Unfortunately, as you've mentioned, far too many are denied that opportunity!

From the article:
s access to the means of changing sex have grown, and as these means have become more effective at changing our secondary sex characteristics, a growing importance has been placed on these tools. As I have argued, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is not just a set of tools, it is the very means by which we take control of our own bodies. It ought to be protected and cherished. At the same time, the rise of fascism has put access to HRT in jeopardy. Wherever fascism takes hold in government, in the medical system, and in the hearts of doctors, access to transsexual medicine is cut off. These forces try to enforce a monopoly of medicine over those they see as undeserving of it. That result is that anyone reliant on their doctors for hormones is either cut off, or forced to follow the demands of others. This attack on our basic needs is intolerable. It also puts into focus how our needs are quite different from some groups under the transgender label. Some trans people need cross-sex hormones to live. Some trans people don't.
