Yes, but they don't exist as a *species*, culture and so on, as in the fantasy-world sense. They're ordinary people with a genetic defect. Same thing with princesses. You can't tell me real-world princesses are even *remotely* the same thing as fairytale princesses. They're just ridiculously rich ordinary women who don't have to work because they're related to somebody with an irrelevant title. It's not as if they can pee through a dozen mattresses. Or. Um. Whatever.
