In a recent interview with Variety, comedian Wanda Sykes said jokes that Dave Chappelle made concerning people who identify as transgender in his 2021 Grammy-winning comedy special The Closer were "hurtful and damaging."

"I’m not trans, but they have my support, 100 percent. I wanted to find something where I can shine some light on what they’re going through, to show how just stupid and hateful really it is." Sykes said of developing comedy material she developed making fun of laws that say individuals must use bathrooms that correspond to their biological sex.

Lawmakers in Albany are preparing a new bill that would award lifetime pensions to the children of slain NYPD cop Miosotis Familia — who was killed execution-style while on duty in the Bronx in 2017.

The proposal, sponsored by two New York state legislators, comes after several failed attempts to close a legal loophole that withholds lifetime benefits from the children of single-parent officers.

Assemblyman Jeffrey Dinowitz, D-Bronx, one of the bill’s co-sponsors, said the measure will provide support for Familia’s three children.

“It’s a no-brainer,” Dinowitz said. “Why anyone would be against this bill is beyond me.”

The lawmaker explained that legislators “did not contemplate a situation like this” when they first crafted the pension rules.

Under the law, the children of single-parent cops killed in the line of duty are not entitled to lifetime pensions — a perk granted to the spouses and parents of NYPD officers.

Instead, the benefits for Familia’s children — Genesis Villella, 26, and 18-year-old twins Peter and Delilah Vega — are due to max out when the younger siblings turn 21.

“It’s extremely unfair for the children of Officer Familia not to get benefits,” he said.

The new bill would allow Villella to qualify for “certain spousal accidental death benefits,” with the money split evenly between the three siblings.

“Before my mother died she sat me down and said, ‘I have a dangerous job and if anything happens to me I need you to take care of your brother and sister,'” Villella told The Post on Sunday.

“We were put in a unique situation and hopefully this bill will correct our situation and recognize me as the mother responsible for taking care of Peter and Delilah, who are my kids,” she said.

Their mother, a 12-year veteran of New York’s Finest, was sitting in a temporary police headquarters vehicle on July 5, 2017, when gunman Alexander Bonds shot her in the head.

Bonds was later gunned down by police.
