Parental abuse and torture were the only two things they actually had in common, and even that statement is kind of wrong.

Kaneki's mother, even though she hit him, was mostly still a kind person, and Kaneki held her in high regards. While Tooru's father was just a douche who probably molested her.

Kaneki's parents just died. While Tooru killed his whole family (even those who didn't do anything to her (as far as we know)).

Tooru never has shown any kind of "character developement" except of the fact that he wanted to live as a boy instead of a girl. He didn't show any regret yet, and from what we've seen yet (facial expression and so on), Tooru would've become (or rather, always was) a sociopath even without his past, while Kaneki became who he is right now due to countless events from his past, always being heavily influenced by what happened to or around him..

And the way Kaneki and Tooru were tortured was slightly different as well. And their train of thoughts was completely different anyway.

I don't see the common ground here. It's like saying "Kaneki and Juuzou are totally the same because both were tortured by a ghoul and then joined the CCG, and both had black and white hair already". Or "Shirazu is exactly like Saiko's mother because both of them want money".
