Facebook has temporarily blocked a California congressional candidate from posting on the platform after she continued to share a video of a transgender woman, despite being warned it violated the company’s policies.

The company reached out to Jazmina Saavedra, a Republican running for California's 44th Congressional District, after she posted a video to the platform in May of herself confronting a transgender woman who was using the ladies’ restroom.

The video, which showed the transgender woman’s face, was removed as it violated Facebook’s community standards, the social media company said.

Under Facebook’s policies, content that shows public bullying of a person is prohibited. The video was also removed due to a violation of its credible threat policy, the company said.

Facebook, however, told the Washington Examiner it does permit the “discussion of whether transgender people should be able to use the bathroom of choice.”

The company said it reached out to Saavedra through its support inbox, as well as her personal email, to notify her that the video would be in compliance with Facebook's policies and could remain on the site if the transgender woman’s face was blurred.

Facebook also said it warned Saavedra that if she posted the video again without blurring the woman’s face, she would be temporarily blocked from posting on the site.

Saavedra went on to share the video with the woman’s face blurred, but at the end of the week, she shared another video in which the face of the transgender woman was visible.

Facebook subsequently removed the video and issued the block on Saavedra's account.

While Saavedra will not be permitted to post on her congressional candidate page or her personal page, other administrators with access to her official candidate page can still post on her behalf.

Saavedra told the Washington Examiner she was not aware Facebook reached out via her personal email or its support inbox, and said another left-wing group has been using her initial video.

"It’s OK for them to use it, but it’s not OK for me to use it by calling attention for safety for women," she said. "It’s double standard for Facebook."

Saveedra also said she did not know she had been temporarily blocked by Facebook until the Washington Examiner sought comment, and said the social media platform is "taking my freedom of speech."

The purpose of the video, she said, was to shed light on safety issues for women.

"This is not about homophobic, transgender, this is about safety," she said. "This is about safety. I don’t even have any idea who is behind that [bathroom] door."

The initial video Saavedra shared was taken from outside the bathroom stall at a Denny’s restaurant.

“I’m trying to use the ladies’ room and there is a man here claiming that he is a lady,” Saavedra says in the original video.

The transgender woman tells Saavedra she is “invading my privacy.”

“You’re invading my privacy because I’m a woman, and I deserve to use the woman, the ladies’ room,” Saavedra says in response.
