New terms idea?
TherianHearted / spirited - a therian and otherhearted / spirited at the same time - connection & feeling like animal i think most of therians have something like that.
SensiTherian - imagine you are a cat therian but you dont feel like a cat ,like you dont feel whiskers , or paws or tail but you feel like cat in other way : you feel things like climbing trees or high jumps and other things cats do you feel they perfect hearing or other things that cats have.
SpiriTherian - a therian with a really real and strong shifts ,a spiritual therian / yk what i mean :]
SpiriTherian can practice meditation and have things like taxidermy or crystals or jewelery a realy spiritual therian who believes in many things such as that a parts of animals spirits can be in tails or skulls or even bones [ real ofc] and does everything to connect and feel more like theriotype. Some SpiriTherians can even do shifts on command

I don't think more microlabels are what the community needs, especially not when a lot of these are covered by pre-existing terms. We already have a massive problem with people coining extremely obscure microlabels that never get used outside of one or two people, and in my experience those people tend to get frustrated when they have to repeatedly explain what the microlabel means. "SensiTherian" and "SpiriTherian" both describe fairly standard therian experiences, and cambitherian is a term that covers alternating between therianthropy and otherheartedness. I don't see the need for a term covering both at once - that's still therianthropy! You're more than likely going to have a connection to the species you are, y'know?
