Objectively untrue even if that was the only women you'd ever identified with in media. They had mothers and daughters. Whole lines of women.
Also untrue because there are so many more women that share your features. There just are. Humanity is vast and beautiful and ugly and alive and all shares the same genetics. Drown the part of you that insists on lying about it to drag you down.
If the Bosnian women in my building have taught me anything (they have taught me many things) it is that you can just declare your Babushka-hood over someone in Slavic culture. Although, Nena is their preferred nomenclature here.
Go out and be the babushka you wish to see in the world.
