to paraphrase ADC. You either suck or you do not suck there is no in between.

At 82 years old, actor Billy Dee Williams is still finding new ways to make himself the epitome of cool.
In a feature profile for Esquire, the man known for playing Lando Calrissian in the Star Wars franchise – a role he’s reprising this winter for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker – talks about how he freely identifies with both he/him/himself and she/her/herself pronouns. It’s not immediately clear if Williams has a clear preference for one set of pronouns or not.

“I never tried to be anything except myself,” Williams said. “I think of myself as a relatively colorful character who doesn’t take himself or herself too seriously.”
In the article, most of the topics being discussed focus on Williams’ career, which started on Broadway at age 8. He also explores finding success as a painter, and how Carrie Fisher’s and Harrison Ford’s much-gossiped romance on the set of Star Wars films didn’t bother him the slightest.
Yet, the most surprising detail to arise from the article was Williams’ definition of his gender expression.
“And you see I say ‘himself’ and ‘herself,’ because I also see myself as feminine as well as masculine,” Williams tells Esquire Culture Editor Matt Miller. “I’m a very soft person. I’m not afraid to show that side of myself.”

The ipitome of cool? No. He’s freaking 82 and delusional
“Pan sexual”??
He likes doing it with cookware?
Most people under 50 never heard of him. He and Diana Ross used to be a very famous movie couple.
I think at eighty-two, he has gone round the bend.

Canine.
I don’t what that was speaking of being “gender fluid,” but it wasn’t Billy Dee Williams. RIP Billy Dee.
After reading this, I may very well need some danged malt liquor!
This is not "cool"; it's just mentally ill.
DANG!
I identify multiple ways also. I identify as skinny, young, rich, handsome tall, and very cool!
That, or a trip to the first church of appliantology.
Many younger people haven’t heard of him, unless you remind them he played Lando Carizzean in the second Star Wars episode, The Empire Strikes Back.
“Pray I do not alter the deal further,” he was told.
Well you ruined my night and possibly tomorrow also :)
Looks like I picked a bad Saturday to stop drinking two bottles of JD :)
At 82...is he even up for it?
“The farce is strong with this one.”
Absolutely perfect.
See Wanda down the hall...pick up your prize.
Gender-fluidity is in the air!
Seems to be contagious if you breathe it in apparently.
we call this dimentia.
To paraphrase Norm MacDonald (talking about Bruce Jenner), “When you’re 82, does it really make a difference? You’re just some old thing that no one wants to (get it on with).”
“The farce is strong with this one.”
He is just being politically correct in his waning years. I assure you he likes “split tails.” without appendages.
And...?
LOL!
