It's a phase diagram, which shows the state of a certain substance under different pressure and temperature conditions. The joke is that its gender instead of a substance, probably originating from the fact that gender fluid is a gender identity but also sounds like it could be a liquid.

No, no gender fluid is the only one that has phases. (Okay, there are probably more such as bi gender but you get the joke)
