I don’t think its more difficult to become chassidish than litvish. I know a lot of baalei teshuvah and there are some that have difficulty integrating into litvishe circles and some into chassidishe circles.
I know of an MO woman that became a yerushalmi (not sure if litvish or chassidish) and recently celebrated the chasunah of a child to another yerushalmi. I know geirim that became chassidish with shtreimlach (men) and aprons (women) and shaved heads (both). I know of someone born to a real kalte litvishe heim who made is way over to the other side. Anybody can be anything they want as long as they put their minds to it. There are some groups that are easier to be a baal teshuvah in such as Boston, Nikolsberg etc.
But I don’t think anybody should feel restricted to those. You go where you feel is the right place for you and make sure that you have a rav who helps you along.
tbt:
that line was great I was laughing for a long time on that one.
