It means you're a "normal" male, meaning that you feel that you are the right gender, and are attracted to women.

"Cis" just means that one's gender identity aligns with their biological sex. If you identify as a man and have XY chromosomes, then you're cisgender, for example.

lol its not an acronym. Its just a Latin prefix that means "on this side of" whereas trans means "across from" iirc. They're used in chemistry and other shit

This is actually the case though from what I understand. You just never hear about those cis-fatty acids for some reason.

i don't understand the correlation here

but anyway, the cis- trans- thing as applied to gender theory was co-opted from nomenclature used in organic chemistry to denote two differing states of functional groups in geometric isomerism. they were derived from Latin for "this side of" and "the other side of", respectively.

edit: ninja'd, p much

Bolded part has nothing to do with cis vs trans; that part is "gay vs straight".
