We don't truly know both how “cis” could have been used here

We don't technically know how any word is being used here, but without evidence to the contrary, it's reasonable to assume that they're being used according to their accepted definitions.

We don't truly know both how “cis” could have been used here, and @TotallynotJessica@lemmy.blahaj.zone wants me to also be aware it could be used differently than meaning “heterosexual.”

Not just "could". That implies that both are correct and common. Using "cis" to refer to sexuality is an error, and a pretty rare one at that. I've seen it only a handful of times. Confusing "straight" with "both heterosexual and cisgender" is more common, but that's in the opposite direction and mostly restricted to people who think that "cis" is a slur and would never refer to themselves as such in my experience.
