I've always used it in the "she's a badass" sense. I think I picked it up from a bike forum in Oz many years ago from another cool bike chick I knew.
That's not to say I've never bad boomer-esque jokes about her, but they'd typically be delivered to her face so she can punch me if she feels I didn't deliver it well enough.

I don't think we ever got to the bottom of 'grrl'. It could mean
a) grr + girl, as in boomer era "I hate my wife" "comedy"
b) grrl as in 'riot grrl' which is almost diametrically opposed
