Perfect Mags! Thank you so much for articulating this so beautifully! It is really hard to explain why trigger warnings are important because as you say, people fear their work will not be read. As you have set out, trigger warnings are not a locked door, they are a closed door that provides guidance as to if/when to open the door should we choose to. No-one wants to open that door and find themselves in a place they are uncomfortable. Now that would guarantee they don't read our work ever again!
