The first sentence is an incorrect statement about grammar.
HolyBonobos
Grammatically correct, factually incorrect.

No. It would be either. She is the female version of him. Or, Hers is the female version of his.

Are you talking about people or the actual words "she" and "his"?

Usually it would be "She's a female version of him" With personal pronouns (such as he/ him/ his), the first form is for when the person being mentioned is the subject of the sentence, the second form is when they're the direct or indirect object, and the third form is for when you refer to something belonging to the person. You say "a female version" here instead of "the female version" because the latter implies that you know that she's the only female version of him.

”She” is the female version of “he.”

No. It's she/he, her/him, hers/his. So if you're talking about people "she is the female version of him", or if you're talking about the words themselves, "'she' is the female version of 'he'".

It's very unclear what you are even asking about. What is your native language?

I’m not sure exactly what you’re asking here. But she is not is not the female version of his. “His” is a possessive and the female form is her/hers.

No. She is the female version of him. Hers is the female version of his.

"She is the female version of him" makes more sense to me. Although, unless you're talking about a gender-swapped fictional character, it's not a sentence you hear often.
DrMindbendersMonocle
Him instead of his

This whole thread is a special kind of nightmare.

No.. "She is the female version of him."
