Have you seen those photos popping up all over social networks<\/a>\u00a0of your friends looking a little smoother or scruffier than they usually do? Three new filters on\u00a0Snapchat\u00a0have folks playing around with their looks. Two filters embrace gender fluidity by merging their facial features<\/a>\u00a0with traits associated with the opposite sex.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One filter makes you look more feminine, one makes you look more masculine and a third one makes you look like a baby. The “male” filter gives you facial hair, shorter hair and a stronger jawline. The “female” filter removes beards and replaces them with smooth skin, makeup and long locks of hair. The “baby” filter, well, gives you a younger, rounder baby face. Face App<\/a>\u00a0for iPhone also offers gender-swapping filters.<\/p>\n

The new Snapchat filters have come under fire<\/a> by some who accuse parent company Snap of trivializing the struggles of people who are often marginalized for looking different — for example, those who identify as transgender, intersex or gender nonconforming. It’s undeniable that the filters have made a splash. Expect even more Snapchat lenses to come.<\/p>\n

Here’s how to see what the fuss is about and try them for yourself.<\/p>\n

Finding and using Snapchat’s genderswap and baby face filters<\/h2>\n

1. Open the camera screen on Snapchat and tap the screen. <\/p>\n

2. Make sure your camera is facing you by tapping the rectangular arrows in the top corner.<\/p>\n

2. Multiple filters will appear, but the gender swap filters should be within the first five options. Select the filter with the beard (for women) and the filter next to it with makeup (for men). There’s also the baby filter (little guy with a yellow, eared hoodie), a clown filter and so on.<\/p>\n

3. When you’re camera ready, snap the picture. <\/p>\n

Now you can send your gender swap photos to all of your friends and family.<\/p>\n
