I understand the intensity of your criticism of this boomer generation of Sikhs, but I think we should remember the context of them being raised in a post 1984 horror/fear. Any way for them to fit in and not be pointed to as the “other” was latched onto. Born in 2002, my parents had this same fear raising me in a post 9/11 America, and as such cut my hair, their faith was diluted long before this decision.
"Critical theory, among other liberal theories, widely appeals to the general public at large because it underscores the inability of liberalism to furnish the equality it avows to produce."
It's funny, as their policies fail to create equality in every area, the explanations become more and more superstitious. What is "internalized white supremacy" or "unconscious bias" but an invisible spirit that causes trouble and problems- in the same way a peasant would blame devils or faeries for rats getting into the grain.

Here is my takeway, correct me if I'm wrong
Sikhism is the path to becoming human.
A Sikh can treat themselves with respect and treat others how they want to be treated.
However a Sikh does not support or respect delusions such as transgenderism or other "religions" (Islam, Hinduism, etc)
A Sikh can support and defend themselves, and their family, so others do not need to get involved.
Furthermore, a Sikh can do so without deliberately weakening or exploiting others.
Sikhism is not about land redistribution (Marxism)
Sikhism is not about wealth redistribution (Marxism)
Sikhism is not about tolerating delusions (Liberalism)
Sikhism is not about fighting for the weak or proving how tough you are (cannon fodder mentality)

"Freedom to increase responsibility and control one's reactions"
That's a good way to put it
