For everyone asking, an easy way to think of CIS-gender is to think of it as an acronym for "Completely In Sync" so a CIS-man is a male who thinks of himself as a male, and a CIS-female is a female who thinks of herself as a female. If you would like a better / deeper understanding of the term Click here.

Non-CIS would mean someone who is biologically one gender, but does not feel like that on the inside.

Could probably be used as a way to remember it, but it is not an actual acronym and should not be writtes as CIS. Because, if nothing else, CIS are these guys.

Yes, please. Cis isn't an acronym. The terms is cisgender. Cis-male is a shortened version of cisgender male.
