I went to a shrink, to analyze my dreams; he said it's lack of sex that's bringing me down.
I went to a whore, she said my life's a bore; to quit my whining cuz it's brining her down.
The shrink is a she, the whore uses both he and she pronouns in the song. The pronouns are even bolded in the lyrics sheet and quite noticable in the song.
Singer is bisexual and while he was supportive of generally challenging gender norms, sometimes his trans comments were what would be considered transphobic nowadays. See:
