Not trying to be sarcastic, serious question.
"She" refers to her self/identity just as "I" refers to my self/identity.
No dualism required. Unless you consider physicalist epiphenomenalism to count as dualism. Or the fact that consciousness is first person and subjective and everything else is third person and objective.
I don't consider it dualism. Or at least, to call it dualism would be misleading.

Again I'm talking about someone who is attracted but then pretends not to be after discovering something irrelevant.
