The invariant interaction isbecause has charge while the fermion pair has charge . Once has a vacuum expectation value, it generates a Majorana-type fermion mass and can split the two Majorana components of the original Dirac field.
The operator has dimensionso its coupling is classically marginal in four dimensions. By comparison, has dimension three and its coefficient is a relevant mass parameter.
