Sorry if we weren't clear. We are autistic and adhd so that affects literally everything, lol.
Anyways, we meant any "human" looking creature (so even those who are fully human). Not just alterhumans & nonhumans.
Theriform human actually works, lol. (Strikout cause original poster/creator of the term says it's not supposed to be used about humans)
(The next paragraph has religion, specifically christianity, talked about)
We know that humans are animals and aren't better than any creature, but every once in a while because of how we were raised in this life, we think of humans as "different" than most of beings. (We were raised Christian in this life, but we aren't Christian. A lot of Christians have the idea that humans aren't like other animals [this is based on our experiences with Christians, so don't come for us with the whole "not all Christians" thing]). Somehow, this kinda became a little bit of a vent about being raised Christian and shit, lol.
(We are gonna edit our original post, not getting rid of our dumbness but by using the strikeout thing)

Theriform [Official Coining Post]
Theriform Adjective (can applied as a noun in certain phrasing, see examples)
From θηρίον (thēríon) [diminutive of θήρ thḗr, “wild beast”] and μορφή (morphe) ["shape"/"figure"/"look"].
Definition:
A theriform animal is one which was born into a body that is typical/expected of it's species and observable as such by everyone, with species-typical levels of sapience/intelligence and whose behaviour is unaltered by being born into a human body/raised in a form perceived as human.
It is not the 'opposite' of therian despite similar etymology but is instead to be viewed as a complimentary term to therian, nonhuman, alterhuman, otherkin etc as it exists to specify certain details of a species whilst not invalidating the identities of those who are not theriform. It is made to replace potentially invalidating phrases like 'bio(logical) animal' or 'real animal'.
It is not an identity label and therefore has no flag or symbol and does not need one. Do not create these things please, or use the term to describe yourself on a personal level.
Alternative versions for non-animals could include: floraform, nat(ur)form, techform, fictoform, feyform, voidform, starform, divineform etc
Examples:
"Lol it's so funny being a cat and having a theriform cat as a pet we're both just kitties vibing but with different body shapes."
"Just because they're the same species are you does not mean you are able to take care of wild theriforms."
"The fact that there aren't that many theriforms of my species is so saddening."
"I wanna do quads alongside a pack of theriform wolves so bad!"
"I am transspecies, here is what I do/what I want to do to look more theriform."
"I wonder if theriforms get species dysphoria?"
