Am I wrong to be annoyed about this workplace complaint?

Let it go but never do the support role ever again.

Because you're so used to seeing women whine about theirs? Not sure what this has to do with bad management at OPs employment. Are you a shitty manager and this is how you roll?

Bad management or not, they still have the authority to terminate him. If it were me I’d tread more lightly, including not giving out a million details online about my work woes.

A million details? How paranoid are you? You can do you but OP is right to be annoyed.

It’s that someone in your company, likely at a higher level than your boss, doesn’t like you. Your boss didn’t come to you to share gossip from your peers. He came to you because his boss is not happy with you, and that’s the real issue if you value your job. So stop worrying about a petty rule change and start thinking about the perception of your work and value to others.

You're still just not getting it. There was never a reason to pull OP aside for this petty snipe. Good management says "Effective today people in shift support will now do X, Y and Z." There is zero reason to pull OP aside to voice a criticism from higher up in this manner. And what senior leader is scared to put their name to it? "Hey Mark, Bob thinks it's better to look the part and come to the meetings from now on." Hiding behind an anonymous complaint is something only a powerless chicken shit peer would do.

+1 exactly

someone is trying to swing their dick around in the most cowardly, petty way possible, OP's boss caved to this person, and OP has accurately picked up on this

You have been deeply, deeply wronged OP. You should resign, or at the very least hire a lion of an attorney.

Why do you think everyone is the OP responding? Are you Loser Linda from the office pissed off that a man wore jeans while doing the support work you're too lazy to do?

I think we have a very clear case of an OP sock puppeting hard on this thread.

Attend the meeting next time if it relates to your function - you’re already trying to milk the extra pay anyways so why not sit in on a meeting that isn’t super relevant to pad that time?

Bingo.

I think not. Just a weirdo pushing hard for dysfunctional work environments. Probably some useless middle manager everyone hates because they are such a horrible boss.

Yes. It’s hard but letting it go is best for your well-being

This is my sense too:

Malicious compliance. I’d never do the support role again. If asked, I’d make it clear that the benefits of the role no longer apply, so you are no longer interested.
