Exceptions are always there in Chemistry. There is an example of Perxenate i.e Xeo3 or Xeo6 4- which is also known as Xenon hexoxide or Xenon trioxide. This is an extremely powerful oxidising agent. XeO6 4- +2F- + 6H+ ------> XeO3 + F2 + 3H2O Here, Fluorine ion is OXIDISED to fluorine atom (neutral gaseous atom) Concluding, it isn't right to say in a general language that Nothing can oxidise fluorine, as exceptions are always there.....in each field of this world .
