Stoicism, competence, composure, equanimity or level-headedness, can be.

Tranquility, not being a quality of the human mind, but rather a feeling or state of being, cannot be. The dictionary definition of tranquil (free from disturbance) is mutually exclusive with a mind that is actively dealing with concerns of any kind. Because then you are not free of disturbance, are you?

You can remain calm and in control, but if there is force of any kind that you must interact with in any way, you cannot be tranquil.

Can you get there by ignoring any current troubles for a moment, simply not thinking about them for a minute? Yes, but that's still temporary.

What you are claiming, is like saying silence is the ability to ignore noise.

Or that silence can be "maintained" at a concert. That by refusing to let the music make you dance, you might prevent it being played.

Can you still plug your ears? Sure. But you can't listen, while doing that.

We are using different definitions of the word.

You explain what your definition is, which affects mine (being the dictionary defintion) in no way whatsoever. We have nothing to discuss.

What you describe I would call stoicism, competence, composure or equanimity.

Most simply, level-headedness.

But not tranquility. Tranquility, by definition, being a state free of turmoil, cannot be maintained, if dealing with turmoil.

Look up the difference between "most" and "all".

Further, consider that not all people are pacifists.

Finally, note how I go on to describe how one can feel things one otherwise wouldn't, depending on what one is focused on.

You have to willfully bend my words to misinterpret what I said to mean that tranquility is an impossible state for a person to be in.

Then it's a good thing that isn't what I claimed.

Well, yes.

But by all-knowing, I meant the kind of view an omniscient god would have, accompanied by complete control of the universe.

Essentially, religious figures typically get to exist, knowing for sure that everything is going and will go according to plan.

It's EASY to be tranquil, then. Even easier if you're just a human, who genuinely believes such an entity exists.

It's easy for religious figures to be depicted as tranquil. They are often all-knowing, and if not, have faith in something all-knowing. They can blindly believe that everything will be fine, even if right now things look bad.

Because sky-daddy will take care of things.

For most people, a prerequisite feeling for tranquility, is contentment.

And trust me, no pacifist is "content" with the current state of the world. "Worry-free" is literally in the first sentence on the wikipedia page of the word, and I don't think anyone can be that, except temporarily and/or by being inebriated.

The only way I know to be tranquil, is to ignore the world, and willfully focus only on the good things in my immediate surroundings, in my life specifically.

Essentially, to get there I have to take a break from caring about most things. I don't like doing that. I want to improve things, and to do that I have to care about things to begin with.

People who would get "dragged down" by someone they know transitioning are doing it to themselves. There is no logic in laying the blame on the person transitioning.

It costs nothing to be kind and supportive to those around you, so I would consider those who won't even do that, to be the selfish ones.

If a person struggles with someone they know transitioning, good, because maybe that finally provokes the introspection in them, required to become a better person.

If it doesn't, I don't know how to help them.

But I know how to help you. Transitioning is not selfish. It's life-saving.

Matrix doesn't have "friend requests" so it's a group or space invite.

And yes, you can be messaged by people you don't know, if they have your matrix address.

There is also schedule.lemmings.world where you can schedule all kinds of stuff with your account, using a nice UI.

Maybe it needs to super-national?
