Neither, fluorine is a pale yellow gas under standard conditions. The boiling point of fluorine is −188.11 °C so at room temperature fluorine will not be able to exhibit any hardness or softness since these terms don't apply to gases. Fluorine is very very reactive and is the most electronegative element in the Periodic Table.

∙ 11y agoAt standard temperature and pressure, fluorine is a gas and therefore as "soft" as possible!

What is true about both fluorine and oxygen that allow them to pull hard on electrons?
Fluorine and oxygen are non metals. They pull hard the electrons.

No. Fluorine is a gas.
What will happen if you breathe in fluorine?
Fluorine gas is extremely damaging to the soft tissues of the respiratory tract.
When fluorine is in a solid state is it hard or soft?
That depends on the temperature and solid state phase. Fluorine solidifies at −220 °C (−363 °F) into a cubic structure, called "beta-fluorine". Beta-fluorine is soft - possibly owing to the generally disorganized arrangement of individual microscopic crystals. At −228 °C (−378 °F) fluorine undergoes a solid-solid phase transition to a monoclinic crystal structure called "alpha-fluorine". This phase is hard, with close-packed layers of molecules and a much more regular and extensive crystaline structure than beta-fluorine. Note that what we think we know about alpha-fluorine is based on work done by Nobel Laureate Linus Pauling and was quite tricky due to the very low temperatures required and the rather energetic reactions of fluorine with the materials usually used to hold chemicals.
