Correct; it is massively ungrammatical.
> Do you mean that instead of saying "it's her apple" you'd say "it's she apple"?
No possessive form is indicated. But instead of saying "I gave it a dress", you would say "I gave she a dress".

Well, thank you for explaining. I have complete respect for anyone's choices in this area but I'll leave the opinion on this particular choice to myself.
Edit: looking at other comments, it seems like it might not be the correct explanation after all?

As someone else noted, GP is just misunderstanding a frankly confusing subject. There are essentially two common ways for people to specify their pronouns.
Some people desire a single set of pronouns, and indicate this using the nominative/accusative pair (she/her, they/them, ze/zer).
Other people accept either of two different sets of pronouns, and indicate this preference using the two nominative forms separated by a slash (she/they, they/he, and apparently, it/she).

We should introduce that community to the Pipe character so they can disambiguate between the two forms.
Do you mean that instead of saying "it's her apple" you'd say "it's she apple"?
