I don’t normally use filters

However, that TikTok affect is awesome. It is bad ass. Reminds me of us Gen X women!! because we are bad ass

#genx #badasswomen #genxwomen #genxlove

2/3 Edited to

As a Gen X woman myself, I rarely turn to filters when posting photos, preferring to show my true self. But recently, I gave a popular TikTok filter a try and was pleasantly surprised by the boost of confidence it gave me. It perfectly captured the fierce, unapologetic energy that many of us Gen Xers carry. This generation grew up in a unique time of transition, balancing analog childhoods with digital adulthoods, which has shaped our outlook to be both resilient and real. I love how this filter trend has sparked a movement online celebrating badass women like us, encouraging authenticity without hiding behind heavy editing or unrealistic standards. Using hashtags like #genx, #badasswomen, #genxwomen, and #genxlove creates a community grounded in mutual respect and empowerment. It’s not about perfection, but about embracing life’s imperfections and owning our stories. If you’re a Gen X woman, I encourage you to try this TikTok effect or just share a filter-free photo that reflects your true self. It’s about celebrating our strength and the journey we’ve traveled. The overwhelming positive responses from other Gen X women I’ve seen online show the powerful connection we share. Let’s keep reminding the world that we are indeed badass — unfiltered, authentic, and unstoppable.
