[...] on the topic of what to call sɛҳuąƖ degenerates? -- but "SSA" certainly isn't it.
Among other issues, the initial
‘S’ in "
SSA"
could just as easily stand for "
single" (
ahem). But it's hardly rare for people inventing abbreviations to give
zero thought for preventing ambiguity [
×].
The thread is the first and last time I've seen the term used. Any other term works better --
I recognizeed "
SSA" from seeing it elsewhere on the Internet, most likely in
Novus Ordo docuмents excepted in the generous postings from the
Rite of Sodomy book(s) by (
Ms.) Randy Engel(s) [
#]. I don't recall the exact contexts, but they were probably among these:
• screening potential seminarians; or
• promoting "
welcoming" environments ("who am I to judge") for the sɛҳuąƖly aberrant in
N.O. parishes (requiring creation of at least 1 new job of oversight at the diocesan chancery level, to be predictably treated as an entitlement for the sɛҳuąƖly aberrant).

Note
#: It seems to me that
Rite of Sodomy by Randy Engel(s) has been expanded into a multivolume book series.
Note
×: Among the most inexcusable among somewhat recent inventions:
‘W’ to abbreviate "Wire
less" (e.g., as in "
WAP" for "Wire
less Access-Point) &c., when
‘W’ is plainly indispensable--having no
obvious substitutes--to abbreviate the pioneering "
wired" technology.
[Expletives deleted] "marketing" morons! The direction of the technology was clear at the time, so it's unlike, thus not comparable to, the historic need to distinguish "cord
ed" telephone, "cord
less" telephone, vs. "cellular" telephone technology.
