Given that LW thinks springing (probably extremely gendered and sexist) sexual humor on a teenager they don't know well, in public*, with no warning, is super funny and not at all intrusive or gross... I suspect this is not the first time LW has pushed boundaries and made this family uncomfortable. I bet this is a final dealbreaker, not a sudden out-of-nowhere break.
They're better off without you, LW, and you would be better off thinking about your own issues with pushing boundaries and then blaming people for being upset about it. Not that you... really seem to care at ALL about the possibility that you have done someone harm.
*In private would have been creepy too! There's just no non-creepy option here. Except not making sex jokes at teenagers to "roast" them.
ETA: I just realized I didn't mention the gender identity thing at all. I feel like it's all of a piece, though? LW doesn't respect these people, doesn't care about their feelings, doesn't bother to learn about their boundaries and preferences, continues to be incredibly dismissive even after losing a friendship to their own bad behavior.
This would be a way more sympathetic letter if it were something like "I tried to make a joke and misfired so badly it made a kid cry and lost me some friends! How do I make amends???" instead of "How do I make this mess their fault instead of mine?"
