Image ID: A screenshot of a two-by-four table with the labels, from top to bottom, "State," "Low energy," "High energy," and "Other states" in the left column. The right column's properties are:
Left column: State. Right column: "Solid • Liquid • Gas / Vapor • Plasma"
Left column: Low energy. Right column: "Bose–Einstein condensate • Fermionic condensate • Degenerate matter • Quantum Hall • Rydberg matter • Rydberg polaron • Strange matter • Superfluid • Supersolid •Photonic molecule"
Left column: High energy. Right column: "QCD matter • Lattice QCD • Quark–gluon plasma • Color-glass condensate • Supercritical fluid"
Left column: Other states. Right column: "Colloid • Glass • Crystal • Liquid crystal • Time crystal • Quantum spin liquid • Exotic matter • Programmable matter • Dark matter • Antimatter • Magnetically ordered (Antiferromagnet • Ferrimagnet • Ferromagnet) • String-net liquid • Superglass"

People often complain about "how many genders there are". When you go through school, you learn that there are three states of matter. You also learn that there are two genders. Of course, this is not the reality. You may learn that plasma is a fourth state of matter, and that there are transgender or nonbinary people.
Let's take a look at the true number of states of matter...
I feel that if Bose-Einstein condensate is a valid state of matter, then girlflux is a valid label.
The real world is FAR from simple. Not even matter is binary (or quaternary).
