[3] With Lih-Mei Liao, Morland co-founded in 2002 Critical Sexology, a continuing interdisciplinary seminar series on gender and sexuality.
(2010), Morland suggests that "intersexuals need to change what counts as the truth about sex", using "language to describe what their bodies already prove - namely, that maleness and femaleness are not monumental, discrete categories".
[11] In "Intersex Treatment and the Promise of Trauma" (2011) he discusses the social construction of ambiguity and normality, arguing "that medicine has been, conversely and startlingly, traumatic by design".
[12] In the book chapter "Between Critique and Reform: Ways of Reading the Intersex Controversy", edited by Morgan Holmes,[13] his essay aimed to analyse activist and clinician narratives about the medical management of intersex, focusing on the reform of medicine, in place of critique.
The book has been described as "the "go to source" for a contemporary, international representation of intersex studies,"[14] making "contributions that are precise, plainly written and very illuminating... the detail is fascinating and somewhat unnerving... beautifully clear and compassionate" (Contemporary Sociology), and "an important collection" (Suzanne Kessler, State University of New York).
Morland critically analyses the legacy of psychologist and sexologist John Money, including his development of gender identity as a concept, and the utilization of scientific theories about the plasticity of human nature to develop controversial but still widespread treatment protocols for the management of intersex conditions.
