Perhaps for a Gerer Chosid it counts as “his” chutza. However once you have been zoche to be exposed to chassidus “chabad” Then that philosophy and way of life becomes your only “chutza” Its like someone working with a computer from the 80’s.

There is a video from JEM of a Gerer chosid by the Rebbe. The Rebbe gave a brocho for a sefer and said the learning of chasiidus Ger as part of chafatzos ha’mayanos chutza.
I kind of disagree that after the Alter Rebbe taught and revealed Chassidus Chabad, we should still say that Chassidus Chagas also accomplishes Moshiach’s request of “L’chesheyifutzu…”
We were taught (in Yeshiva) that Chassidus Chabad as “apposed” to Chassidus Chagas accomplishes the idea that the wellsprings reach the “outer” limits. It is the trans-formative power of “chabad” and the bitul of chochmah that transforms your midos . The ultimate chutza is when the change is real and true and transforms ones entire being down to your actions.
