解答

意味：
Cisは、cisgenderまたはcissexualの略で英辞郎によると、

シスジェンダー◆生まれ持った性別と心の性が一致しており、その性別に従って生きる人

つまり、transgenderの反意語になります。

Answer

"Cis" in this context is short for cisgender or cissexual which according to Merriam-Webster means:

of, relating to, or being a person whose gender identity corresponds with the sex the person had or was identified as having at birth
