This exactly what I went through (only two year span). Long story short: My mom asked me what was going on randomly, she brought up what I told her two years ago, I told her, she joined me at therapy, and now I'm on hrt and she's fully supportive.
Like my mom, she's probably in denial and believes you were confused. Once you confront her with what's going on she'll have to accept it. Don't expect her to help you with your transition (at least getting started) though. She may get on board once she sees the steps you're taking.
