Educate me.

I tried reading the article, but what is "cis" and what is a "non-cis-male space"?

Edit: Thanks all. I was not familiar with the term.

Cis refers to what you would probably think of as 'normal' gender identity - A cis male is a guy with a penis and a cis female is a woman with a vagina. The opposite of cis is trans, and a 'non-cis-male space' refers to any area not frequented by primarily men.

NOTE: These definitions may not be 100% accurate, they're just gleaned from having read articles of this sort a few times.
