Cambitherian

undefined:

Cambitherian is a state of alterhumanity in which one's identity fluctuates between Therian and Animalheart or Otherkin and otherheart. One such person can use the term Cambitherian, Cambikin, or Cambiheart, and which of the three one uses is merely decided by preference. The word itself is derived from the Latin verb cambiare which means "to change."

There is not a clear line between therian/otherkin and otherheart. Identifying with an animal (otherhearted) vs identifying as an animal (therianthropy) isn't actually very clear. The line is a bit blurrier than that. Cambitherian is a term that allows someone to define alterhumanity in which one crosses that line.

Cambitherian is not a duplicate of [https://therian-guide.com/index.php/2-therianthropy.html#:~:text=Suntherian%20%2F%20Vacillant%3A%20A%20kind%20of%20therian%20who%2C,that%20is%20not%20as%20extreme%20as%20with%20shifters. Vacillant]/Suntherian. It is involuntary and it does not have to do with shifts. Cambitherianthropy is when someone's alterhuman identity is sometimes otherheart and sometimes therian or otherkin. The change in identity is involuntary and happens at random times. It can be triggered by stress, but it is not necessarily a coping method. Also, it does not mean one's therio/kin/hearttypes change. It only means that sometimes they feel closer to the Cambitherian or more like them at certain times, and not at other times.

Headmates in a system can use this term, as can Singlets. A similar term is Clabitherian, a term that means both Cladotherian and Cambitherian.

The Flag
The Cambitherian flag has a symbol that is a combination of the therian Theta-Delta and the otherheart symbol. The silver represents fluidity, the blue represents spirituality, purple represents transformation or change, and the gray represents balance.
